Brand: China

China · 1947 · $5000 Chinese Dollars

This definitive stamp features a portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, a pivotal figure in modern Chinese history, often referred to as the 'Father of the Nation'. The design is a classic engraved portrait, typical for definitive issues of the era, with the denomination '$5000' prominently displayed. The stamp is printed in a deep blue color.

Issued by the Republic of China in 1947, this stamp was part of a series released during a period of intense hyperinflation following World War II and amidst the ongoing Chinese Civil War. The high denomination reflects the rapidly devaluing currency of the time.
