Monaco has issued two stamps for the upcoming - and somewhat controversial - summer Olympics in Beijing,China.
Pictured alongside a traditional Chinese pagoda are six sports events and a symbol called "Dancing Beijing" - a human figure running to celebrate victory.
The figure is similar to the Chinese character "Jing", which appears in the name of the host town.
Controversial is right! It's too bad we can't separate politics from sports. In any case, they are a striking issue. I like the simplicity of the two color approach.
