When FDC's are produced for new issues, its normally the case that 'special coil' printing are prepared in order to automated the production of the FDC's. In the case of the Wales 1st NVI, the typeface selected for the 'AF' is sans serif and so is different from that used for the sheet issues. This anomaly only occurs on the Wales 1st NVI.
