10th Anniversary of the Reunification of Macau with the Motherland

10° Aniversário do Retorno de Macau à Pátria

Date of Issue : 20 December 2009

In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Reunification of Macau with the Motherland on 20 December 2009, China Post and Macau Post jointly issue the stamp theme “10th Anniversary of the Reunification of Macau with the Motherland”, to share the joy of this anniversary by all across our country.

The first top FDC was sent from Macau. The FDC contain a joint issue Macau stamp with the special cancellation of Macau, and a joint issue China stamp with the special cancellation of China. You can also see a very big Macau stamp, which is extracted from the souvenir sheet.

The second FDC was sent from China at Zhuhai Gui Hua South Road Post Office(珠海 桂花南郵政營業廳), which is the nearest post office to the Macau-China border. On the FDC, there is a special souvenir sheet jointly issued by China Post and Macau Post which contains 3 stamps of each postal administration. The post office clerk cancelled both the stamps of China and the stamps of Macau. It is a pity that the gold colour on the top of the souvenir sheet has been deteriorated.
