Germany Large Letter Postage Adjustment (144c + 1c)

Germany · 2003 · 144 Euro Cent and 1 Euro Cent

The image displays two German definitive stamps: a 144 Euro Cent stamp featuring a stylized post horn, and a 1 Euro Cent stamp with a simple numeral design. Both stamps are from the 'Posthorn' series.

These stamps were used in combination to adjust the postage rate for large letters in Germany. Following the Euro conversion, the rate for a large letter was adjusted from 1.44 Euro to 1.45 Euro in 2006, requiring a 1 Euro Cent top-up for existing 1.44 Euro stamps.
