Brand: West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany)

West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany) · 1954 · 20 Pfennig

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 formal, focusing on the profile of the president, a common practice for definitive issues of the era. This particular stamp, the 20 Pfennig value, was a workhorse of the German postal system, used for standard letter rates.

Issued during the post-war 'Wirtschaftswunder' (economic miracle), this series symbolized the stability and democratic leadership of the new West German state under President Heuss.
