About this plate
THE CLASS THE SOURCES APPEAR TO FIGHT OVER, AND THEY DO NOT. Art. 340 سادسا creates ONE combined category «لوحات التجارى والمؤقت», trade licence and temporary licence together. A 2014 press piece reports only the commercial half; the Mint labels its brown specimen only the temporary half; English Wikipedia reports neither.
