This souvenir sheet contains two stamps; one at NT$5 in face value, the other NT$12. They feature a vintage mailbox and bicycle, contrasted by a modern motorcycle and mailbox, and impressed with gold and silver inks, respectively. The inscriptions are dedicated to celebrating postal service facilities of different eras, putting into focus the past of the mail service, post systems of the modern age, and the vision to stay abreast of the trend.
