China (Republic of China / Taiwan) #1200–1203 (1964) – Rural Reconstruction Joint Commission 10th Anniversary

Issued in 1964, this four-stamp set commemorates the 10th Anniversary of the Sino-American Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction, which played a key role in modernizing Taiwan’s agricultural sector during the postwar period.

Each design features a farmer plowing a rice field with a water buffalo, with a traditional Taiwanese village and mountain scenery in the background. The imagery celebrates the unity of tradition and progress — symbolizing Taiwan’s economic renewal and the dignity of rural life.

• #1201 (40c black) – Detailed shaded engraving

• #1202 (140c magenta) – Vibrant interpretation of rural life

• #1203 (300c blue) – Classic agricultural composition
