Crown over A COMMONWEALTH watermark query

[Geoff Dane]

I have a few stamps that show part of the word Commonwealth (of Australia?) outside the frame of the Crown over A watermark sheet. I assume that this exists for all values with the Crown over A watermark as I have examples on the penny and two pence pictorials? I would appreciate any information. Thanks

Hi Geoff

this is an excerpt from page 67 of "The Pictorial Stamps of Tasmania 1899 - 1912"
by K.E. Lancaster. I think it provides the answer that you seek.
