This striking 40-cent stamp from the Republic of China (Taiwan) features portraits of Sun Yat-sen and Abraham Lincoln, symbolizing shared democratic ideals between China and the United States. The background displays both national flags, reinforcing diplomatic friendship and ideological alignment. Lincoln’s famous phrase “Of the people, by the people, for the people” is prominently inscribed, linking Western democratic thought with Sun Yat-sen’s principles. Issued during the mid-20th century, this stamp reflects Cold War-era political messaging and international solidarity. Its bold yellow backdrop and dual-portrait composition make it a standout piece for thematic collectors.
