reesetee commented on the word plate number
The serial number engraved on a stamp printing plate that usually appears in a corner of a sheet of stamps. The number is used to avoid confusion of plates at the printing plant. The term also describes single-digit suffix numbers printed on stamp coils (instead of the whole serial number).
