Philippines 1998 Fauna stamps – Year of the Tiger MNH
The Philippines, through the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost), issued a set of stamps in 1998 to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year: Year of the Tiger.
Although the primary theme is the Chinese Zodiac/Lunar New Year, these issues are often categorized by philatelists under the Fauna (Animals) topic due to the central design being a tiger.
Key details about the issue are:
- Year of Issue: 1998
- Theme: Chinese Lunar New Year – Year of the Tiger
- Fauna Depicted: The Tiger (as the zodiac animal for that year).
- Contents: The issue was generally comprised of a set of two distinct postage stamps and often a Souvenir Sheet (a small sheet containing one or both of the stamps, sometimes with an additional, larger design).
This issue is part of a long-running series of stamps released by the Philippines (and many other countries with Chinese cultural links) to commemorate the annual change in the Chinese Zodiac.
