postal & numismatic: ...China - 2000 Specially Protected Wild Animals of China In A Hard Cover Album

welcome

| home - back to banknotes |

On this site, I will post all my other miscellaneous items which I have collected over the years. I can't say there are many but to some these are considered as junks or garbage but to me, it's a collectible. Some of these came from the family or through inheritance and that is why I am keeping them. Whilst my heading for this site is Australia Postal and Numismatic covers, I have stopped collecting them as to me, it is not that attractive to collect anymore. I hope you like them as much as I do.

...China - 2000 Specially Protected Wild Animals of China In A Hard Cover Album

中国邮政集团有限公司

(China Post Group Corporation Limited)

Here I have posted 19 sets of mint stamps and miniature sheets issued in a hard cover folder. In all there are 59 mint stamps and 3 miniature sheets. The front of the folder reads as follows:-

Specially Protected Wild Animals Of China

国家重点保护野生动物

I am not sure if this was an official issue or someone or entity put all these stamps and miniature sheets all into one folder. Inside the cover, it says that this folder was released on 06.06.2000. The stamps and miniature sheets were issued between 1989 to 2000 and are all in mint condition.

This folder consists of 15 chapters with each chapter dedicated to one protected wild animal in China. However, the theme of the animal in a chapter may not be related to the stamps attached to the topic. However the stamps that link to the chapter are related to the inhabitant of the endangered animal.

Here I have only scanned the mint stamps and miniature sheets but not the contents or the front of the hard cover folder as it is just too large for my scanner.

The stamps and miniature sheets posted here are quite common and they are cheap to buy too.
