In various cities in the Netherlands it was possible to have stamps with pre-printed address strips stamped on sheets. At the printing house these sheets were separated with a perforating device, resulting in double perforated stamps in 's-Hertogenbosch, called "Bossche perforation". With stamps used for the same purpose in other cities such as Amsterdam, Heerlen, Maastricht and Roermond as a result of a different system, no double perforation, but the pre-stamped stamps were (roughly) cut from each other. Check in the description of NL 30pI how the perforation was created.Also in the issue Numeral - Perforation Variant:

Stamp Numeral - Bright Colors - Perforation Variant it reflects the thematic directions:
A number is a mathematical object used to count, measure, and label. The most basic examples are the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth. Numbers can be represented in language with number words. More universally, individual numbers can be represented by symbols, called numerals; for example, "5" is a numeral that represents the number five. As only a relatively small number of symbols can be memorized, basic numerals are commonly organized in a numeral system, which is an organized way to represent any number. The most common numeral system is the Hindu–Arabic numeral system, which allows for the representation of any non-negative integer using a combination of ten fundamental numeric symbols, called digits. In addition to their use in counting and measuring, numerals are often used for labels (as with telephone numbers), for ordering (as with serial numbers), and for codes (as with ISBNs). In common usage, a numeral is not clearly distinguished from the number that it represents.
