President Pu Yi

Manchukuo · 1935 · 5 Fen

The stamp features a profile portrait of Emperor Pu Yi, facing left, within an oval frame. The country name 'MANCHUKUO' and the denomination '5 FEN' are inscribed below the portrait.

This stamp was issued by Manchukuo, a Japanese puppet state established in Manchuria in 1932, with Pu Yi, the last Qing emperor, as its nominal head. The issue reflects the state's attempt to establish its own identity and legitimacy through postal services.
