Two different coloured covers can be found in this booklet: a light brown cover, and a yellowish brown cover. Both of these covers can be found with smooth stock and vertically ribbed stock. All of the booklets I have examined have DF cover stock. The types are distinguished according to where the "1" of "1966" is in the margins in relation to the "R" of "Sverige" on the 20 ore and 25 ore designs. Type 1 has the 1 aligned with the left leg of the "R", or slightly to the left of it. Type 2 has it centered under the "R". Type II appears to be more common than type 1. Generally less than 5% of the booklets printed will show cylinder numbers or control numbers in the margins. According to Facit 895,502 booklets were issued, divided between types 1 and 2, and the different types of covers. One booklet is type 1 with a yellow brown, smooth cover, while the other one is identical, but is type 2. 2014 Facit Cat Kr. 60. Our estimate of the value based on the condition is $8.
