Heuss Definitive Series, 20 Pfennig

Germany (West) · 1954 · 20 Pf

This definitive stamp features a portrait of Theodor Heuss, the first President of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). The design is simple and functional, typical of the era's definitive issues, focusing on the profile of the head of state. It was part of a long-running series used for everyday postage.

Issued during the post-war 'Wirtschaftswunder' (economic miracle), the Heuss series symbolized the stability and democratic identity of the newly formed Federal Republic of Germany.
