Both the face and reverse photographs are mounted on original cardstock and carry the handwritten date 29 April 1925 along the upper margin. This dated archival notation establishes a specific point in the later review, preservation, or internal handling of the design. Although the monetary authority and legal reference belong to the 1896 framework, the mounted photographic pair shows that the design remained active within the printer's working archive nearly three decades later.
