Final British Hong Kong Issue - 1997 Mint Sheet

A British colony since 1841, an 1898 treaty returned the territory to China in 1997. This commemorative sheet, issued on the final day under British rule, pictures the Hong Kong Post Office between 1841 and 1976, and a montage of stamps from five British reigns. They even feature descriptive text on the back of this historic issue! (Hong Kong #792)
