AbstractThe British-run territory will revert to Chinese sovereignty in less than three months - which means, among other things, that Hong Kong-issued stamps bearing the image of Queen Elizabeth II will no longer be used as postage after 30 June 1997.

The rarer the item, the more money serious collectors will pay for it. Some of the rare items are introudced in this article.
