## About this plate

THE SIZE AND THE FIELD COLOUR ARE INSTRUMENT-SOURCED AND THE FORMAT IS NOT. 1998 and the six-digit shape are the article's. What the regulation adds, and what makes this series worth authoring rather than folding into the standard series, is that the Nova Scotia motorcycle plate is a genuinely different object: a different size, a one-plate class by express exclusion, and no Bluenose and no bottom legend, four differences, all sourced.

## How numbers are issued

the article's issuance record runs from 97600 upward, i.e. the six-digit run continues the previous five-digit numbering rather than restarting
