Amoy Municipal Posts Bogus Stamp

China · 1895 · 3 cents

The stamp features a central design of a dragon, with 'MUNICIPAL POSTS' at the top and 'AMOY CHINA 3 CENTS' at the bottom. The image displays three variations of this stamp in red, green, and blue colors.

This is identified as a 'bogus stamp' from Amoy (Xiamen), a treaty port in China during the late 19th century. It was likely not an officially recognized postal issue but rather a fantasy or local creation.
