Saar 1955 Plebiscite Overprint

Saar Protectorate · 1955 · 10F

A 10 Francs stamp from Saar Protectorate featuring an overprint 'VOLKSBEFRAGUNG 1955' on an earlier design depicting a bridge over a river with buildings, likely a scene from Saarland.

This stamp commemorates the 1955 Saar Statute referendum, where the population of the Saar Protectorate voted against an independent European status and ultimately for rejoining West Germany.
