## About this plate

The two-line commercial plate for vehicles that cannot take the 520 mm strip. Its 170 mm height against Annex 1's 155 mm is a reliable tell in photographs.

## About the format

Digit skeleton only. TWO-LINE plate: line 1 is the authority mark then the two class digits (서울 39), line 2 is the hangul use syllable then the four serial digits (바2764). The skeleton concatenates them in reading order.
