1999 (46c) Year of the Rabbit with Printing Variety, a mint never hinged sheet of 25, with the gold-coloured denomination partially obscured (cert says "dramatically reduced"). The "46" is present, but is very difficult to see, which is a variety probably caused by a chemical reaction to the "mottling" effect overlaid on the sheets after the colours were applied. An interesting sheet which is accompanied by a 2023 Greene Foundation certificate. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (Scan 3) (All Scans)
