Republic of China (Taiwan) · 1949 · Unit Stamp

The stamp features a simple design with Chinese characters for 'Republic of China Post' at the top and 'Unit Stamp' at the bottom, with an overprint 'For use in Taiwan only' in the center. The background is plain.

These 'Unit Stamps' were issued by the Republic of China in Taiwan during a period of hyperinflation following the Chinese Civil War, where their value was adjusted daily to cope with rapidly changing currency values. The 'For use in Taiwan only' overprint signifies its specific application after the ROC government relocated to Taiwan.
