The following two series, "Flags 1995" and "Monuments 1995", are not overprints of the two respective 1994 series, as some catalogues suggest, but reprints using changed designs. As explained previously, Israel objected to the use of the currency description as "Mils" (the currency unit used during the British Mandate), so the PNA ordered new designs to be made by its German printer, the "Bundesdruckerei Berlin". Rather than just changing "Mils" and "مليم" to "Fils" and "فلس" the changes were specifically to make the point that these were forced upon them by resembling overprints.
