German Democratic Republic · 1954 · 50 Pfennig

The stamp features a large ship, possibly a cargo vessel, sailing on water with industrial structures like factories or cranes visible in the background. It bears an overprint changing the original 60 Pfennig denomination to 50 Pfennig.

Issued as part of the German Democratic Republic's Five-Year Plan series, this stamp highlights the nation's focus on industrial and maritime development. The 1957 overprint reflects a later adjustment in postal tariffs or economic policy.
