Anniversary album: A limited edition prestige stamp album has been produced to celebrate the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's 10th anniversary.

A limited edition prestige stamp album has been produced to celebrate the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's 10th anniversary.

 

The 2,000 albums feature two stamp panes - one with a Symphony of Lights hologram stamp sheetlet and a serviced first-day cover affixed with the six stamps, and the other a mini-pane and a serviced first day cover affixed with a $1.40 stamp and a RMB1.20 stamp.

 

The stamp panes are hand-made and printed with a unique serial number, and will be packed in a prestigious wooden box.

 

They are $3,888 each. Hongkong Post will set aside a portion of the proceeds from the sales as a charitable donation.

 

People can make a subscription from tomorrow to September 18, either through completing the forms available at all post offices (except mobile post offices) or an online subscription on the Hongkong Post website.

 

Each order is limited to one album. In case of over-subscription, allocation will be determined by computer balloting.
