Taiwan (Republic of China) · 1947 · 2000 Dollars

This stamp features a central portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China. The portrait is framed by an ornate design, with the denomination '2000' in the lower corners. The stamp was part of a series issued to honor national martyrs and features the Martyrs' Shrine.

Issued in 1947, this stamp reflects the turbulent post-WWII period in China under the Nationalist government, just before their retreat to Taiwan in 1949. The high denomination reflects the hyperinflation rampant at the time.
