This striking 30 cent stamp from Hong Kong was issued in 1946 to celebrate the Allied victory in World War II and the liberation of Hong Kong from Japanese occupation. Printed in blue and red, the design centers around a bold portrait of King George VI set within a crowned oval, flanked by heraldic lions bearing shields inscribed with the Chinese characters for "Hong Kong." Beneath the portrait, a symbolic phoenix rises from flames alongside the Latin word "RESURGO"—"I rise again"—and the years 1941–1945, commemorating the period of occupation and subsequent restoration. Designed with strong patriotic and imperial iconography, the stamp merges Western and Chinese visual elements, emphasizing Hong Kong’s colonial status and its hoped-for rebirth. It is part of a two-stamp commemorative series, printed by De La Rue using typography, and carries no watermark. With perforation 14, this example is unused with original gum, though a hinge remnant is visible on the reverse. Catalogued under Scott HK 169, Michel HK 169/170, and Yvert 167/168, it remains a symbolic and visually powerful post-war issue. Estimate "$30 – 45"
