Baden, 1 Kreuzer Black on Buff Paper

Baden · 1851 · 1 Kreuzer

This stamp, the first issued by the Grand Duchy of Baden, features a large numeral '1' at its center, indicating the denomination of 1 Kreuzer. The design is simple and functional, with the country name 'BADEN' inscribed above and 'FREIMARKE' (postage stamp) below, all enclosed within an ornate rectangular frame.

Issued on May 1, 1851, this stamp was part of the first series of postage stamps from Baden, one of several German states to issue its own stamps before the unification of Germany in 1871.
