This stamp is from the 1950 printings that were published in Volume II of The Postage Stamps of New Zealand by The Royal Philatelic Society of New Zealand. The printings were from the original dies (which were subsequently destroyed) and the image quality is superior to even the best examples of the original stamps which were printed from plates created from the dies. The stamps were printed in authentic but incorrect colours for each denomination to avoid them being confused with the original printings.
