Queen Elizabeth II Fourth Definitive Hong Kong Definitive Stamps Magnet Sheet [Low Denominations]

This design is based on Hong Kong's definitive postage stamps issued in 1982. It was the fourth series of definitive stamps released during Queen Elizabeth II's reign, commonly known as the "Fourth Definitive" series. The stamps were in use from 1982 until they were replaced by the "Fifth Definitive" series in 1987. The original stamps were designed by Kitching Ya, the creator of "The Insect World," who combined Arnold Machin's effigy of the Queen with the Hong Kong Coat of Arms. Initially, 16 denominations were issued (10c, 20c, 30c, 40c, 50c, 60c, 70c, 80c, 90c, $1.00, $1.30, $2.00, $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $50.00). In 1985, a $1.70 stamp was added, and the 30c denomination was discontinued. This series of stamps incorporated phosphorescent printing. When illuminated by UV light, the word "HONG KONG" would appear as a reflection in the center, over the Queen's effigy. The English words "Hong Kong" encircled the outer part of the effigy. Therefore, in our design, we have replaced the original Queen's effigy with the "HONG KONG" text to highlight this distinctive design feature of the stamp.
