About this plate
ONE SERIES ACROSS THIRTY-THREE YEARS, deliberately. The 1993, 2008 and 2017 texts prescribe the same plate, blue ground, yellow characters, country number then activity letter then serial, and the 2016 band amendment did not touch čl. 16/24, so this series has no EU band and no 2016 break. What DID change is invisible in the format: the 1993 text lists the activity letters in a different place from the 2008 text.
About the format
The pattern prints the "A" (diplomatic) form as its canonical example because the activity letter is a CLOSED set of three literals, A, C, M, not a free letter position. 24 st. 2 makes.
