Hungary - Lunare new year stamp,

I bought these stamps recently. Hungary post started issue Lunar new year stamp with Year of the Horse 2014, a minisheet of 4 stamps. Year of the cock 2017 they got a break.

In my opinion, year of the tiger is the best one.

 

Aland - Lunar new year maxicards,

 

These three maxicards are from Aland. Year of the Rat 2020, Year of the Buffle 2021 and Year of the Tigre 2022. 

I am wondering the reason they use the cat instead of a tigre for this year. 

Thank you so much Mosshuula for these wonderful maxicards!

France, Year of the Rat;

I got this mail with two beautiful minisheets: Year of the Rat issued by LaPoste. They look so beautiful, not only the color but also the stories on the stamp. One shows rat marriage, a very well-known story in Est-Asia such as Vietnam, China,.... The another shows a rat with a lotus running, maybe to give his bride.

Merci beaucoup Jean!

Australia, Year of the Rat,

I really love Rat year stamp design. At first look I thought it show a traditional story in Vietnam and China about the Kitchen Genius (Táo quân). But actually they are 3 types of main characters in JingJu (Kinh kịch).

Thank you so much czp9336!

With this YoR stampset, you can use an app on the cellphone, scan the stamp then see a short film. The rat on the stamp will move.
