Issued in 1898 and valid through 1914, this 2 cent red Coiling Dragon stamp was printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd for the Chinese Imperial Post. Bearing a vivid red color, the stamp features the traditional dragon motif, engraved printing, and the upright yin-yang watermark. The format is 23 x 26 mm with variable perforation. A well-centered cancellation from Shanghai adds to its postal history value. This issue is catalogued as Michel CN-IM 49, Scott CN-IM 100, Yvert CN-IM 48, Gibbons CN-IM 110, and CSS CN-IM 115.
