... The first is unknown. The Gate of heavenly peace issues, I am suffering Catalogue blindness. http://groups.msn.com/Stamps/shoebox...oto&PhotoID=57 Rodney, the 2000-value is Peoples Rep. of China 1950, SG 1417. That might give you a clue to the 35000-value. According to my Chinese colour catalogue both values were issued 1950, but I cannot read the Chinese text, and neither can I find the 35000-value in SG! Still searching for the first unknown one. Mette |

.. . Sorry Mette, The stamp on the left has Hangul characters so it is Korean, probably North Korean. The two stamps on the right are Northeast Peoples Post. The 2000 stamp could be a 1st (1950) or second printing (1950-51); the 35000 is from the frist printing. No world cruise as they are not expensive stamps. My information is from NC Yang "Postage Stamp catalogue of The Peoples Republic of China". That's OK, Dave -- Hangul isn't my strongest side (!) but certainly a fair reason why I couldn't find it immediately in the catalogues ;-) What the other two are concerned I have no comments; I am sure that there are more knowledgeable people out there than me in Early China ;-) Mette |

(Korean celebrities issue) In 1959, North Korea adopted a new currency. 1 old Won = 1 Chon 100 Chon = 1 new Won. Based on my old SG Simplified (1965) catalogue, it is SG # NK 212 - 1 chon Grey on Green paper (1960) It shows Kim, Chongho (geographer) mid-1800's Used catalogue value was 3d at the time (minimum value?) Kim, Chongho (?-1866) [the Practical learning movement] In the early 17th Century, there arose a new movement in Korean scholarly learning. Its aim was to set new directions for the country which would aid the livelihood of the people, new thinking called "Practical Learning" emerged Scholars of the school of "on-the-spot survey" which was one of the trends in Practical Learning believed that people must achieve an academic understanding of the realities and culture of their country. They strove to conduct academic research concerning the country. Yi Chong-hwi, Yu Tuk-kong, Han Ch'i-yun, and An Chong-bok studied history, and Sin Kyong-chun, Yi Chung-hwan, and Kim Chong-ho studied geography. Chong Sang-ki and Kim Chong-ho drew maps of Korea, but Kim Chong-ho is particularly well known for the creation of a map known as the "Taedong yojido" (general atlas of Korea) which was made through actual field studies and had a variety of practical uses. The Taedong yojido, dates back to 1861, it is the oldest detailed map of Korea. http://rki.kbs.co.kr/src/history/img...dongyojido.jpg Through the scholarly activities of these and other scholars throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, many measures concerning government administration and improvements in the welfare of the Korean people were presented. KIM, CHONG-HO (?-1866) .. The greatest cartographer in Korean history, he was a strictly self-made man. He studied cartography by himself from childhood. Subsequently he spent 30 long years traveling from one end of the country to the other surveying and making maps. In 1861 he completed Taedong-yojido, the most accurate map of Korea up till then. Understandably Kim was convinced that no government could administer a country effectively without a good map. And it was precisely that which he himself produced. He kept on working and in 1866 came out with a monumental Taedong-jiji atlas publication (12 volumes, 32 books). His nom de plume: Kosanja I hope this is helpful.
