1941 MEĐIMURJE, overprint types

Međimurje issue was overprinted in several runs. First, by clichés with type A only, and later by clichés with type A and type B pairs.

1941 Međimurje, unofficial local provisional issue, overprint clichés with type A and B pairs in block of four.

Type A differs from type B by larger and stronger coat of arms. Additional, both types comes with two subtypes, depending on the row in the block.

1 undercuts of the left leg of "M"
2 dotted line
3 open coat of arms
4 additional thin line
5 damaged "e" (does not occur always - probably due to the later damage of the cliché)
