The centenary stamps were designed locally and intended for release in October 1940. But due to delays, the stamps were finally issued in February 1941. The four cent stamp shows a liner and junk in the harbour. Given the significant events of 1941, some say the liner depicted was the "Empress of Japan". Not able to verify this claim.
