Macao Post was issued the third issue of the third series of Chinese Zodiac philatelic products with the stamp theme “Lunar Year of the Tiger” on 2nd January, 2010. The third series continue to use the conceptual design of the previous two stamps, Lunar Year of the Rat and the Ox, to combine the different forms of the Tiger and the distinguishing characteristics of “Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth” on to the stamps. This year, the tiger’s nature from the “Five Elements” is “Metal Tiger”, so it becomes the main character of the five stamps. The “Metal Tiger” stamp is applied with emboss printing technique to highlight the image of intrepid tiger while the hot foil stamping with holographic and gold are used respectively on the cloud patterns, the face values and the characters.
