Special Comments:

In BANK the N is repunched in lower relief in a new font with thin serifs. The thin serifs of the new font show at the upper left and the left top of the right leg, where the original letter had broken.

In UPPER the Ps are repunched in slightly lower relief in a new font where the upper left serif tapers (in the original font they were parallel). The first P is repunched low, so the seifs at the left are doubled and the ragged edge of the upright of the original P shows at the top.
