German Empire Germania Issue

Germany · 1900 · 10 Pfennig

This definitive stamp features the iconic 'Germania' design, an allegorical personification of the German nation. She is depicted in profile, wearing armor and a crown of oak leaves, symbolizing strength and endurance. This widely used series was the first to be valid across the entire German Empire.

Issued at the turn of the 20th century under Kaiser Wilhelm II, the Germania series represents the German Empire at the height of its industrial and military power before World War I.
