Ceci n'est pas un timbre.
This Mini Souvenir Sheet from Ajman is not listed in Stanley Gibbons (6th Edition, Part 19). Only a handful of issues are listed for 1972 and this is why -
SG says: "Many other issues were released between 1 September 1971 and 1 August 1972, but their authenticity has been denied by the Ajman Postmaster-General.
(...) on 2 December 1971 Ajman joined with the other states to form the United Arab Emirates (...). The Federal Ministry of Communications assumed responsibility for the postal services on 1 August 1972 and all stamp contracts were terminated; stamps inscribed "Ajman" issued after this date were released without authority and had no validity".
