#CC0000Background#FFFFFF - About this plate
- THE POPEMOBILE PLATE. Red characters on white, carried by the vehicle in papal use. Reported to be SCV 1 exclusively since June 2002, where the earlier practice extended red lettering across a small block of low SCV numbers used by the Pope.
- About its years
- "Since June 2002" is reported by it.wikipedia ALONE and is not corroborated. 2002 is therefore the weakest date in this file and is tagged accordingly.
- Format notes
- A SINGLE-VALUE SERIES: the literal string "SCV 1". The pattern spells the digit as a literal 1 rather than the 9 token precisely because this series admits exactly one serial and a 9 token would generate serials the series does not contain.
