Issued on 1st July 1997, this souvenir sheet commemorates the return of Hong Kong to China after more than 150 years of British rule. The sheet features a 76p stamp depicting a Chinstrap Penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica), representing the wildlife of South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. Set against a stunning night view of Hong Kong’s skyline, the design bears the greeting “Best Wishes & Good Fortune” in both English and Chinese. This unusual issue links the British Overseas Territory of South Georgia with one of the most significant geopolitical events of the late 20th century.
