Following a warm reception of the debut issue of the Zodiac Series featuring the Rat, collectors can now expect the second zodiac animal - the Ox to be released soon!

To prepare for this coming Lunar New Year, the Ox is taking bold strides to be released on 10 Jan 97.

This issue comprises two graphically designed Ox stamps. Released with this issue are mini stamp sheets of 18 stamps (9 sets of stamps) per sheet.

A Chinese and English inscription of "Year of the Ox" will be printed on the selvedge and the colour guides are in the shape of Ox instead of the usual dots.
