Notes

Embora essa emissão tenha sido autorizada pela administração postal da Guiné, praticamente toda a emissão não foi vendida na Guiné, mas apenas distribuída pela agência filatélica guineense Stamperija para distribuição no mercado filatélico. This issue is still being sold on the Stamperija website over two decades later as of the year 2024. Stamperija had Impressor S.A. print the stamps for them in this year. Aparentemente, a República da Guiné usou várias agências de stamps neste ano..
