In contrast to the standard, this stamp appeared in miniature sheets of ten with a special text print on the upper horizontal margin, although the stamps could certainly be purchased individually.

Another special postage stamp on the occasion of the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow had already been prepared, but was not issued due to the boycott of several Western countries.
