Taiwan (Republic of China) · 1950 · 1 NT$

The stamp features a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China, with a prominent surcharge of '新台幣壹圓' (One New Taiwan Dollar) over the original '單位資費' (Unit Fee) denomination.

This stamp reflects the economic transition in Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War, specifically the currency reform in 1949 that introduced the New Taiwan Dollar and the subsequent revaluation of existing postal denominations due to inflation.
