" CHINESE ZODIAC ~ YEAR OF THE ROOSTER." 

MNH ~ Miniature Sheet !

A great collectible and gift, this stunning souvenir sheet celebrates the New Lunar Year and the start of the Year of the Rooster.

Celebrate the Year of the Rooster with this scroll-shaped souvenir sheet.

This colourful collectible is the perfect gift for a friend or relative born in the Year of the Rooster, or for parents expecting a child this year.

At the bottom of the souvenir sheet is this year’s international rate stamp, which features a closely-cropped profile of a rooster created out of wavy gold lines that extend beyond the stamp’s bottom border. 

Above the stamp is a stylized version of the rooster image from this year’s domestic stamp. In the upper right corner is the Chinese character ji, meaning rooster.

The Year of the Rooster begins on January 28, 2017 and runs until February 15, 2018. The tenth of 12 animals to appear in the Lunar Calendar, the Rooster is considered a sign of good fortune because its name is pronounced similarly to the word jí, meaning lucky or auspicious. 

Those born under this sign are known for being successful, courageous, confident, honest, hard-working, and punctual.

Year: 2017.
