Small figures in the corners. The values 5 and 20 øre exist in an early engravement with small figures of 5 and 20 in the corners.

Små tal i hjørnerne Værdierne 5 and 20 øre findes i en tidlig gravering med små tal i hjørnerne.

The issue with small figures was replaced by the new engraved type in 1885 - but in later printings of the value 10 øre (print 5 - 1888) and 20 øre (print 9 to print 14 - 1888-1892) one or a few of the stamps in the sheet are with small figures.
