Helecon paper
Due to the poor appearance of helecon coated printings in this
colour (see 1959 QEII 2d and 3d definitives)
this issue did not use helecon. However, a quantity was printed on helecon paper but the
paper was deliberately reversed so that the coating appears on the gummed side. In
addition, a very small quantity was used in booklets, this time face up. Helecon
Booklets are exceedingly scarce.

30th June 1965. Helecon ink
The colour was changed to red to use up non helecon paper stock by mixing a helecon ink
with the dye. Helecon ink printings applied to all formats: sheets, booklets and coils. At
depletion of the ink, remaining stock was not treated. This caused booklets and sheets to
appear without helecon. The booklets however are very scarce.
Coils (helecon only) 518,400.
Coil stamps were produced from this colour only, and only with the Helecon Ink.

*The odd quantity reflects the withdrawn from sale nature of Decimalisation.
