L - Coated Tela

L = Tela, of English origin, the parallel watermark with an asymmetrical paper mesh and coated. But above all with a density of 24/20 instead of 30/20!

Introduced in 1949. Reference for the commemoratives:

MT 504, 506 = 17.08.1950 San Martin Centennial 20c, 50c


When the "rayado vertical" is denoted by Pettigiani by "K"and the "Tela" by "L, the difference is barely visible unless one uses sophisticated methods. The rayado vertical shows asymmetrical diagonals - hence has a asymmetrical paper mesh, the Tela has a symmetrical paper mesh!

The 50c coated paper with S.O. on parallel watermark, symmetrical paper mesh, horizontal direction of paper - "m":

The 50c coated paper with S.O. on parallel watermark, asymmetrical paper mesh, horizontal direction of paper - "m":

Some more parallel!

It looks like we have 2 types of paper for the coated 50c S.O.
