Germany · 1980 · 100 pfennig

A rectangular German meter stamp from 1980, featuring 'DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST' at the top, '100' (pfennig) as the denomination, and a postmark indicating Frankfurt (Main) on January 2, 1980.

Meter stamps like this one were widely used by businesses and government agencies in West Germany during the Cold War era, providing an efficient alternative to traditional adhesive stamps for bulk mailings. They reflect the modernization of postal services in the late 20th century.
