I am selling a set of two vintage Chinese special stamps, "Sika Deer." Symbol: T.52 Issue Date: July 18, 1980 Issuing Authority: Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China The Sika deer is distributed only in China, Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and eastern Siberia. The Sika deer is one of the precious animals in China, and since ancient times, it has been considered a symbol of good fortune, a "sacred beast," and has also been called a "celestial beast." However, wild Sika deer are extremely rare, and in China, they are designated as a national protected animal, and their capture is strictly prohibited. On July 18, 1980, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China issued this special stamp to raise people's awareness of the importance of protecting wild animals. The design name of Stamp 1 (left) is "Mother and Child Deer." The scene depicts the nature at the foot of Changbai Mountain, enveloped in the stillness of midsummer. Lush forests, blooming mountain flowers, and in the distance, a mountain spring flowing vigorously can be seen. A mother and child Sika deer are depicted walking in a clear stream, with the mother deer looking back with a loving gaze at her fawn. The design name of Stamp 2 (right) is "Stag." The design features a close-up of the head of a stag against the backdrop of the natural landscape of Changbai Mountain in early summer, with layers of mountains and the deep green of the lush vegetation. Both stamps in the image are used. They are in good condition for vintage stamps. Please check the details in the images. No returns or exchanges. Shipping costs will be covered by the seller.
