Germany (Bizone) · 1948 · 50 Pfennig

This 50 Pfennig stamp from the British-American Occupied Zone (Bizone) of Germany, issued in 1948, features a classic posthorn design. It is distinguished by a 'Bandaufdruck' (band overprint) reading 'POST' and 'DEUTSCHE POST' across the design.

Issued shortly after World War II, these stamps were provisional issues for the Bizone, reflecting the Allied occupation and the initial steps towards rebuilding postal services in post-war Germany.
