Postage Stamps And Postal History Of Hong Kong
Hong Kong formerly produced postage stamps with the name Hong Kong, with the face of the reigning monarchs of the United Kingdom, or with the royal symbols (e.g. "E.R.").

British Hong Kong postage stamps are no longer valid for prepayment of postage, nor are they repurchased by the Post Office.
