China · 1946 · 2000 dollars

A blue stamp featuring a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, overprinted in red with '2000' in Chinese characters and Arabic numerals, indicating a revaluation from 5 dollars to 2000 dollars.

This stamp reflects the severe hyperinflation experienced in China immediately after World War II, where existing stamps were overprinted with significantly higher denominations to keep pace with rapidly depreciating currency.
