Republic of China 1948 Sun Yat-sen Revenue Stamp (7000 Yuan)

This is a vintage postage or revenue stamp from the Republic of China, issued circa 1948 during a period of significant currency inflation. The stamp features a portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic, centered within an ornate oval frame. The design is printed in a monochromatic purple or violet ink on off-white paper with standard serrated perforations. The upper portion of the stamp displays the sun symbol of the Kuomintang, flanked by Chinese characters indicating the denomination. The lower corners clearly show the numeric '7000' value, reflecting the high-denomination issues typical of the post-WWII Chinese Civil War era. The text across the bottom identifies the postal administration. Regarding condition, the stamp appears to be in used or 'off-paper' state; the perforations show some slight irregular wear and minor foxing/toning consistent with age. There is no visible cancellation mark on the face, but the paper edges exhibit typical softening from handling. The high-quality intaglio printing style showcases fine line work and cross-hatching typical of mid-20th-century philatelic production.
