To welcome the New Year, Chunghwa Post has issued a set of two New Year stamps and a souvenir sheet. The stamps are designed around the concept of “the auspicious goats bringing good fortune to celebrate the new year.” The designs of the stamps follow:
1. NT$6 stamp: “Goat of Good Fortune,” a dark goat weaves through clusters of coral ardisia, conveying wishes for a prosperous new year and for smoothly attaining success in all endeavors. The image symbolizes prosperity and the steady accumulation of wealth.
2. NT$13 stamp: “Joy and Abundance,” an auspicious goat wanders leisurely through a sea of camellia blossoms, conveying blessings of good fortune, health, and prosperity. The image symbolizes celebration, auspiciousness, and a bountiful harvest.
3. NT$15 souvenir sheet: “Three Goats Bring Prosperity,” the background incorporates imagery of the resilient “Three Friends of Winter.” These symbolize the steadfastness and Mother-Earth-like nurturing that characterize the Year of the Goat. The image conveys the message of spring’s return and the flourishing of new life, expressing wishes for enduring blessings and burgeoning success in the new year.
To increase the joy of philatelists, Chunghwa Post has released “New Year’s Greeting Postage Stamps (Issue of 2026) Uncut Press Sheets” on the same date that the stamps were released. A special collectible tube contains the following: one uncut press sheet comprising two panes of 20 NT$6 stamps, another uncut press sheet with the same for the NT$13 stamps, an uncut press sheet featuring 9 souvenir sheets, and a certificate of authenticity.
