## About this plate

The per-territory encyclopedia format table gives, for this window, "1970-1985: Five-digit format with hyphen (1-234)". That example has FOUR digits, not five, so the row is internally inconsistent and cannot be encoded as a grammar. What IS safely carried is that the window is numeric-only and that it is the era in which the bear silhouette was introduced (reported 1970, territorial centennial). The earlier reported windows (1966-1969 "12-345", 1952-1965 "123", 1950-1951 "1234", 1945-1950 "123") are NOT authored: one unfootnoted table is not enough for five series.
