Canada #713i 12c Bright Blue And Black Queen Elizabeth II, 1977-1982 Floral & Environment Issue, A VFNH UR DF/DF-fl Field Stock Block On Horizontal Ribbed Paper

A VFNH UR field stock block of 4 of the 12c bright blue and black Queen Elizabeth II stamp from the 1977-1982 Floral & Environmental issue, printed on horizontally ribbed DF/DF-fl paper. The back contains a sparse amount of low fluorescent fibers.

The Queen Elizabeth stamps of this series can be found printed with background colours that appear more or less even and solid, and with colours that appear mottled. Again this is not listed in Unitrade, but in my view it is a very collectible difference.
