Year of the Rat special stamps herald the arrival of spring

The pig stamp is hot-foiled with silver, while the rat stamp is affixed with 22K gold-plated lace metal against a reddish-orange background with a lively and joyous pattern of prestigious peonies.

"24 Solar Terms - Spring" is the first special stamp issue themed on the 24 solar terms launched by Hongkong Post.

A set of six stamps is presented in brilliant colours to depict the six solar terms of spring. Arranged in tête - bêche pairs, it is the first time for Hongkong Post to issue semicircular stamps.

Apart from the above stamp products, a newly designed 2020 souvenir cover will be put on sale at $1.50 at all philatelic offices, as well as Hongkong Post's online shopping mall "ShopThruPost" (shopthrupost.hongkongpost.hk) starting from Monday.
