| Additional information |
Macau's Grand Prix, first run in 1954 on the Guia Circuit, was by 1978 firmly established as Asia's premier motorsport event — drawing Formula Three and touring car competitors who treated the street circuit as a genuine proving ground rather than a novelty. This gold issue marked the race's 25th running, though the anniversary count has occasionally caused bibliographic confusion since the event was not held in 1955 and 1956 due to typhoon damage and organizational difficulties.
Gomes R 68.01 confirms a single-variety issue with no known proof strikes separately catalogued for this year.
