Republic of China National Assembly Commemorative with Inverted Taiwan Overprint

Republic of China (Taiwan) · 1949 · 5 Yuan

The stamp features a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China, with the denomination '5 Yuan'. It is notable for its inverted overprint '限臺灣省貼用' (Limited to Taiwan Province).

Issued in 1949 to commemorate the National Assembly, this stamp reflects the Republic of China's relocation to Taiwan. The inverted overprint signifies a rare and highly sought-after printing error from a pivotal period in Taiwanese history.
