Hong Kong Chinese Zodiac Series

Hong Kong · 1900 ·

This entry represents a thematic collection of stamps issued by Hong Kong celebrating the Chinese Zodiac. Each year, a new set of stamps is typically released featuring the animal corresponding to that year in the 12-year lunar cycle. The designs often blend traditional Chinese art with modern graphic styles.

Hong Kong began issuing lunar new year stamps in 1967 (Year of the Ram), establishing a popular and long-running annual series for collectors worldwide.
