A COLLECTION of 1,606 stamps featuring the Chinese chrysanthemum has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records for containing the most stamps in a single series.

First released by China Post Group in 2012, it took the group four more years to release all eight sets in the collection. Copies of the collection will be sold for 1,606 yuan (US$238).
The chrysanthemum indicates nobleness, dignity and longevity, making it a popular flower in China.
