Description: The stamp employs a horizontal rectangular format featuring a detailed bi-colored illustration of a raccoon dog walking amidst forest brush. Rendered in textured shades of earthy brown, the thick-furred mammal faces slightly forward while stepping over green vegetation, framed by a soft backdrop of vertical trees. The country's official name, "조선우표," is crisply inscribed in gold lettering along the lower-left edge. Positioned next to the text in the lower-right quadrant is the face value denomination "2전." A bold, curving purple ink cancellation mark cuts across the upper portion of the design, indicating the stamp was processed through the domestic postal network.
Circa: 1962-1963
Condition: Used - Hinged
Notes:
The animal featured is the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), known locally as neoguri, an ancient canine species endemic to East Asia that shares a striking visual resemblance to North American raccoons despite being entirely unrelated.
