That is true, but these numbers are a bit smaller and more difficult to read than on the Austrian equivalent, where they are more clearly visible
There's also the same issue with Liechtenstein and Switzerland galleries
In the older spot the expiration date was already 25, it's just incorrectly displayed on PM, like 99% of this type. These cannot change without the entire plate changing !;)
Amazing spot! While it could be still on the original car I highly doubt that, as it was reprinted with Euroband sometime after 2002, and as long as the owner doesn't specifically request that, it only happens when the plate is transferred to a new car. Furthermore, this Golf generation seems to have started in 1991, while the plate was given out in 1990.
