Germany 1949 100th Anniversary of German Postage Stamps

Germany · 1949 · 20+30 Pfennig

This set of two stamps, issued by Deutsche Post in 1949, commemorates the 100th anniversary of German postage stamps. The designs feature reproductions of the first Bavarian stamps, specifically the 3 Kreuzer and 6 Kreuzer 'Black One' issues, with the original denominations and 'FRANCO' text.

Issued a century after the introduction of the first German postage stamps, these commemoratives highlight the philatelic heritage of Bavaria, one of the first German states to issue its own stamps, marking a significant milestone in German postal history.
