Article 21: New Zealand Butterfly High Value Definitives	Article 28: Kenya Butterfly Definitives	Article 32: Bhutan 3-D Butterflies	Article 35: Malaysia Butterflies

Quick Links: Johor / Kedah / Kelantan / Melaka / Negeri-Sembilan / Perak / Perlis		This commemorative issue is very appealing. It has beautiful depictions of butterflies and fish. Below is a large image of the scarcest value of the series, the 20c Special Delivery. I include here quick links to the series mint, and used-mostly CTO since this issue saw almost no genuine postal use.	I show a page with the eight values from this issue.

The main page contains the low values, and I also show a page with the middle and high values.
