Same thing as all the others. Jawi (Malay in Arabic) rotated 90 degrees
clockwise in the left box. Chinese (ba1fen1 "8 cents") in funky seal forms
in the box on the right. These are the exact same characters as
in another one of the North Borneo 8 cent stamps listed at the
jaysmith.com URL Richard posted earlier in this thread.
