The Serrane guide states that there should be 77 pearls in these stamps, eleven horizontal lines on top and thirteen below. The genuine stamps are engraved.
3rd stamp in the first row of a sheet of 12 stamps (position 3)
of the 1 pa and position 11.
Position 11 and 12
Although forgeries exist with continuous background lines, this
stamp with (almost) continuous background lines is genuine
according to Jovan Velickovic.
These stamps were printed in blocks of 12 (3 rows of 4 stamps). They can each be indentified by the position on the plate (plating). For example the 3rd stamp in the first row of the 1 p has its left top corner damaged (see image above).
Forgeries, example:
The left and right sides of the arms almost touch the pearls in
these forgeries. According to
http://sksynology.com/country/serb/serb.html, these forgeries
might have been made by the stamp forger Engelhardt
Fohl.
Forgery with too many pearls in the circle and a bogus retangular
cancel.
The next forgeries of are printed on the backside of some 5 c stamps of the 1879 issue Salvador:
Another primitive forgery. A similar forgery can be found on the
Amphilex 2002 Exhibition sheet of Jovan Velickovic.

I have seen 2 tete-beche stamps of the 20 p value, also a strip of 3 20 p stamps with the center one inverted (R).
I've seen an imperforate proof of the 20 p brown value.

These stamps have perforation 11 1/2. A misprint 50 p yellow seems to exist (RR, I have never seen it). These stamps should have small black arms overprinted on it, however, they exist without this overprint (see the above 1 p stamp); according to the Serrane guide, those unoverprinted stamps are not official.
