About this plate
THE SOVEREIGN PRINCE'S SERIES. Note what the instrument does NOT say: it does not mention "000", and it does not reserve any block to family members by name. See header finding 3.
About its years
Original to AM 78-5, but ONLY IN PART. The 1978 printing gives the princely série spéciale as MC01-MC99 alone; MP and PM were added by a later amendment that was NOT identified among art. 6's roughly thirty amending arrêtés. So the SERIES starts in 1978 and two of its three blocks start at an unpinned later date, recorded rather than smoothed over.
Format notes
Art. 6, série spéciale: "un groupe de deux lettres, suivi d'un groupe de deux chiffres soit MC01 à MC99, MP01 à MP99 et PM01 à PM99". Shape- identical to the motorcycle series, which is why that series excludes these three pairs by name.
