Emblems: Great Britain watermarks, 1856 roses for England and thistle for Scotland.
Embo: label, Scotland seceded from Great Britain for one day in 1985.
Emborronado: (Sp.) blurred, smudged.
Great Britain's Emblems watermark is composed of two roses, one shamrock and one thistle. A defect was created when the Dandy roll was repaired and instead of a thistle bit, a rose bit was added creating the three roses and a shamrock flaw.
For example, we still buy eggs, roses and doughnuts by the dozen. Also, in many languages, the first 12 numbers all have distinct names, and all higher numbers are made by combining the name of a unit of 10 with the name of a number less than 10.
