## About this plate

Nothing in R-054-94 or the Act dates any serial length, and R-054-94 itself post-dates 1986 by eight years, an instrument that DOCUMENTS an older practice, which is precisely the case the instrument-date rule exists to stop us mis-dating. DESIGN REFRESH, RECORDED BUT NOT MADE A SERIES BOUNDARY: secondary reporting puts a graphic and material update at 2010, and the regulation's own amendment history contains R-054-2010, in force 1 July 2010. The coincidence of years is suggestive and is NOT evidence, the content of R-054-2010 was not inspected, and a fee amendment would sit in the same slot. Recorded as a lead, not a claim. SHAPE: the bear silhouette is reported as introduced in 1970 for the territorial centennial and retained since. That is a DESIGN fact spanning several serial series and is not used to date this one.

## How numbers are issued
