Asia Becoming One through Stamps

Date of Issue : 22 Apr 2009

The stamp design features Asia becomes one through the postbox, Letters and stamps, the messenger of love and peace.

PHILAKOREA 2009 that will be held from July 30 to August 4, 2009, is the first Asian International Stamp Exhibition to be held in Korea. Wishing for the success of PHILAKOREA 2009, commemorative stamps are issued, featuring the award-winning works in the Youth Category of the 2009 International Postage Stamp Design Contest: the Grand Prize-wining work by Jaeseong YUN of Korea and Award of Excellence-winning work by Yu Hoi Dick Cherie of Hong Kong, China.

The 2 stamps and the special cancellation are really lovely.
