HEAD OF STATES STAMPS

A collection of postal covers on "Head of States" by Johnny Lowis, a Singaporean philatelist. I try my best to include all the worldwide countries. As I started this collection quite late, somewhere in 2000, so some of the earlier leader were missed out such as Saddam Hussein, Muamar Gadaffi, Shah Pahlevi, etc..... All the stamps in this collection are genuine and each cover is dedicated to a single person only. If I miss out your country, please let me know. Thank you for visiting this site.

Mongolia/Xiongnu

Huhanye Chanyu

呼韓邪單于

( - 31BC)

Huhanye ChanYu, was a supreme leader of the

Xiongnu (a nomadic tribe living in Inner Mongolia),

who ruled from 58 to 31 BC.

In 33 BC, Huhanye came to the Han imperial court

and asked for peace making marriage to maintain the

friendly relationship between Han and Xiongnu.

For the peace between the two, Wang Zhaojun

(王昭君 ) volunteered to marry Huhanye, which

strengthened the peace between the Han Dynasty

and the Xiongnu for over 60 years.
