Flora and Fauna Series Issued on Aug. 10 , 1959 (Showa34) After the change in the US dollar currency in 1959, the first animal and plant Leeds stamps were issued in dollar notation in place of the provisionally issued dollar stamps. It is thought that the stamp design was adopted by the Okinawa Post Office because the stamp design was replaced with animals and plants in mainland Japan. Most of the Okinawa stamps at that time were produced by the Printing Bureau of the Ministry of Finance.
