Description: This vintage definitive postage stamp from the Republic of China features a monochromatic green intaglio design printed on a textured, off-white paper stock. The central vignette displays a formal, frontal portrait bust of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, celebrated as the founding father of modern China. Across the upper boundary, an aligned banner houses traditional Chinese characters reading right-to-left as "Postal Administration of the Republic of China" (中華民國郵政). A matching horizontal banner anchors the baseline, enclosing the face value written in a mix of a Western numeral "4" on the left and traditional script reading "Four Cents Postage" (郵資肆分). The portrait is framed within a clean rectangle bounded by fine background cross-hatching, and the physical item shows standard comb perforations with no heavy ink cancellation marks.
