This striking philatelic souvenir was issued to commemorate the historic return of Hong Kong to China on 1st July 1997. Set against a vibrant nighttime panorama of Hong Kong’s skyline, the souvenir sheet bears a 76p stamp from the South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands, featuring the Chinstrap Penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica). The elegant inscription “Best Wishes & Good Fortune” in English and Chinese expresses optimism for Hong Kong’s future prosperity. A fascinating cross-territorial collectible linking the British Overseas Territories with one of the most momentous political transitions of the 20th century.
