This plate type has an interesting history; it is unknown when the plate type was first issued, but I saw one in 1997 — unfortunately no picture. That plate was yellow on blue and had SUPR as a prefix followed by a one or two-digit number like 4 or 04. Then in September of 1999 the plates were reissued on the www base. Plate were reissued on a number for number basis using the same format as the previous issue. Then in February 2002 the plates were redesigned and reissued in the current format. It is unknown how many of these plates are in use, but the series is reserved from S/C01 to S/C30. | |||||||
