Sun Yat-sen Portrait, Surcharge for Taiwan, 500 Yuan
Republic of China · 1950 · 500圓
A definitive stamp featuring a portrait of Sun Yat-sen in a circular frame, overprinted with '限臺灣貼用' (Limited to Taiwan Use) and a new denomination of '500圓' (500 Yuan).
Issued by the Republic of China after its relocation to Taiwan, this surcharged stamp reflects the hyperinflation of the post-Chinese Civil War era and the specific administrative needs for postal services on the island.
