Macao, United Nations



Stamp Issue Date - 21 September, 2018
What's special - Laser cut stamps

United Nations Postal Administration issued a 3-stamp special event mini-sheet to commemorate the Macao 2018 - Thirty-fifth Asian International Stamp Exhibition in Macau, PR China. The sheet is composed of stamps in three denominations (US$ 1.15, CHF 2.00 and € 1.80) and features a special laser-cutting technique.

The background of the sheet depicts a Chinese story in ancient times called Hua Mulan, about a girl who joined the army instead of her old father, dressing as a man to do so. The three stamps feature judge Bao Zheng, general Guan Yu and Hua Mulan. They are meant to represent justice, loyalty, righteousness, courage and equality.
