Macau is an autonomous territory on the western side of the Pearl River Delta in East Asia. Macau is bordered by the city of Zhuhai in China to the North and the Pearl River Estuary to the East and South. Hong Kong lies about 64 kilometres (40 mi) to its East across the Delta. With an estimated population of around 652,500 living in an area of 30.5 km² (11.8 sq mi), it is the most densely populated region in the world. Macau was administered by the Portuguese Empire and its inheritor states from the mid-16th century until late 1999, when it was the last remaining European colony in Asia. It became the world's largest gambling centre in 2006, with the economy heavily dependent on gambling and tourism, as well as manufacturing.
Le timbre à 5,50 patacas (la monnaie de Macao) fait partie d'une série de 4 émise le 18 mai 2016 pour mettre en valeur le musée maritime de la ville.
The 5.50 patacas stamp (the pataca is the currency of Macau) is part of a set of 4 (date of issue : May 18, 2016) paying tribute to the Maritime Museum of the city.
