Comments
The sheet/MS stamp (HK19980104 ST 1_30 1) is distinguishable from the booklet stamp by being perforated 13.5.

A stamp of nearly identical design to the $1.30 value was also issued in a Lunar Zodiac set issued Feb 21 1999. It is distinguishable from this stamp by not having the year 1998 in the design.
