Reportedly a number of 500 One Toman stamps were printed from the clichés of the one Kran stamps. In order to differentiate between the Kran and Toman (10 Krans) these stamps were printed on tinted paper indicating the stamps on yellow colored paper as One Kran and blue paper stamps as One Toman. Generally the One Toman stamps were printed on very thin or pelure paper, although a copy of this stamp exist on a medium paper. The Unused examples are extremely rare and less than ten copies known. No multiples of this stamp is known, however it is safe to assume that a setting of the One Kran red on yellow paper could have been used for printing of this stamp and most likely the setting with two tête-bêche pairs.
