10 p green 20 p red
Imperforated minisheet with two 'Faksimile'. The word 'Faksmile'
is written at the bottom of each stamp.
I have seen imperforate forgeries of both stamps with inscription 'FAUX' written at the bottom of the stamp.
10 p + 2 p green and black (image of 1 k black Bavaria stamp) 20 p red and blue (image of 3 k blue Bavaria stamp) 30 p blue and brown (image of 6 k brown Bavaria stamp)

30 p blue
I've seen a 'Reproduction' with inscription 'Reproduktion 1984' at the bottom, issued for the 'Salon der Philatelie' in Hamburg (1984).
2 p green 4 p brown 5 p lilac 6 p orange 8 p grey 10 p green 15 p violet 20 p red 25 p lilac Slightly larger size 30 p blue 40 p lilac 50 p blue 60 p brown 70 p yellow 80 p red 90 p green
The values 2 p to 25 p have solid background, the values 30 p to 90 p have a lined background. Some values exist printed on top or besides each other (from a stamp booklet consisting of two rows of 5 stamps: two 20 p stamps in the upper left, three 4 p stamps in the upper right, two 20 p stamps in the lower left and three 6 p stamps in the lower right). Another stamp booklet consists of 9 stamps (two rows of 5), with five 20 p stamps on top, a label with a green cross in the bottom left corner and four 10 p stamps in the rest of the bottom part.
The whole set exists as 'facsimile' (=forgery). These facsimiles seem to be quite common and were made in 1982 to commemorate the 30 years existance of these stamps. They are issued in two minisheets with an additional 'stamp' with inscription '30 JAHRE ZIFFERSERIE'. The first minisheet contains all the lower values and the second minisheet contains the larger sized stamps. The word 'Faksimile 1982' is written at the bottom of each stamp and furthermore printed at the back of each stamp.
Another set of reprints was issued in 1986 to commemorate the 35 years existance of these stamps. These stamps have written 'Faksimile 1986' at the bottom. All values were issued on 2 mini-sheets (one for the lower values and one for the higher values). In the upper left hand side of each sheet an additional label is printed with inscription '35 JAHRE ZIFFERSERIE'.
'Reprint' of 2002
In 2002 another set of 500 'reprints' or 'replikate' was made by the Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Aktie Philatelie (Frankenberg, Eder) of all values, however with very peculiar perforation. They were pasted on 'first day covers' with the dates corresponding to the dates of the original stamps. The above image shows an example.

I've seen the 5 p and 10 p printed together, either besides or on top of each other (other values also exist printed side by side, all originating from stamp booklets). I've also seen the 20 p with a 1 p numeral printed together with some space in between.

Some 'reproductions' were made for the 'Salon der Philatelie in Hamburg 1984' (World Postal Congress). They consist of one minisheet with the values 12 p, 16 p, 24 p, 50 p and 60 p with inscription 'Reproduktion 1984' at the bottom of each stamp. Another minisheet exists with the values 1 DM and 2 DM, they also have written 'Reproduktion 1984' written at the bottom of each stamp.
This design exists in three different types (the bottom part of the bell is in the center, at the left, or at the right).
