To welcome the New Year, Chunghwa Post has issued a set of two New Year stamps and a souvenir sheet. The design is based on the theme: New Year's greetings from the lucky dragon. The details are as follows:
1. NT$6 stamp: Majestic and elegant, the auspicious purple dragon holds its head up high to welcome in the New Year.
2. NT$13 stamp: Upright and proud, the green dragon represents a New Year of extraordinary power wishing all people health and wealth to perfection.
3. NT$15 souvenir sheet: Wreathed in might and awe, soaring above the common crowd, the golden dragon betokens a New Year of luck reaching to the heavens and fortune redounding on high.
To meet the interests of stamp collectors, on the same day as the stamp set release, a “New Year's Greeting Postage Stamps (Issue of 2023) Uncut Press Sheets” release of philatelic products is on offer specifically for the use of philatelists. These come in a special tube. The release features one certificate of authenticity, one uncut press sheet of the souvenir sheet (comprising nine small sheets), and two uncut press sheets (one containing two panes of 20 NT$6 stamps and the other containing two panes of 20 NT$13 stamps).
