A 60c value followed in 1982. The 50c and 60c values are tagged; the 75c and 80c are not. The 3 initial values (50c, 75, 80c) were printed by the British American Bank Note Company. The Canadian Bank Note printed the 60c value and a second printing of the 50c value (noticeable differences exist). BABN used photogravure; CBN uses lithography. These two printing methods produced different results on the 50c value.
