The zodiac sheetlet was introduced in 2002 and consists of 12 stamps, each showing one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac. Just like prior years' design, each stamp in this issue features one of the twelve animals, with each animal's name written in Chinese at the centre of the stamp. In this issue, the rooster itself is printed in gold foil, signifying the Year of the Rooster zodiac set.
