Classic engraved definitive from Republic of China, featuring the iconic portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen framed by ornate scrollwork and the party sun emblem. Printed in deep green, this 8-cent value shows a bold black Chinese character overprint/surcharge, issued during a period of postal rate adjustments and currency changes. Overprinted Sun Yat-sen issues are highly studied for varieties, positioning, and ink differences. Strong lines and clean perforations enhance eye appeal. A solid addition for early ROC or Asian definitive specialists.
