Officially, Taiwan is a province of the People's Republic of China.
Many Taiwanese people consider themselves however as being citizens of the 'independent' island of Taiwan, or the so called Republic of China.

And this truly is a beautiful stamp/sheet!
Most stamps/sheets printed on silk are already an example of exquisit printing.
Here, the stamp is superb.

To see the embossed printing, a picture of the back side shows us more :

If any Taiwanese reader of my blog, is willing to send me a postally used copy of this sheet, I'd be very happy.
Very Very good and usable post. Thank's to share your experience with us. I will try to remember these tips in my blog commenting task.
