Jersey Post will get its programme of new issues for 2017 off the ground on 5 January with a single stamp and accompanying miniature sheet on a subject of little relevance to the island - the Lunar new year which will be the Year of the Rooster which used to be called the Year of the Cock. The issue was designed by Wang Yuming and lithographed with additional gold metallic printing. At least the total face value is relatively conservative (£1.48p). Rating:- 0.

India Post issued a single stamp on. 3 December 2016 to commemorate the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. The design depicts a rather unexciting picture of a building - more imagination is badly needed in Indian stamp design. Rating:- *.
