According to the Universal Postal Convention, which governs international mail, postage stamps are required to bear the name of the issuing country or territory in Roman letters. The sole exception to this rule is the United Kingdom, which, as the first country to issue postage stamps, is permitted by a UPU footnote to use a silhouette of its reigning monarch in place of the country's name.
This error was later corrected when the stamp was
overprinted with
logo of China 2009 International Stamp Exhibition .
