The miniature sheet costs VND15,000, while the price of the four remaining stamps stands at VND4,000 each. 

The stamps have been designed by painter Nguyen Quang Vinh of the Vietnam Post Corporation, with the artist making use of water colour design methods in order to develop the colourful and beautiful collection.
