Name: Bavaria Coat of Arms
Brand: Bavaria

Bavaria · 1911 · 5 Pfennig

This definitive stamp features the Bavarian coat of arms, a quartered shield with a central escutcheon, representing the various territories of the kingdom. The design is simple and functional, typical of the era's postage, with the denomination '5 PFENNIG' prominently displayed below the arms.

Issued under the regency of Prince Luitpold, this stamp was part of a long-running series used for everyday postage in the Kingdom of Bavaria before it was incorporated into the German Reich's postal system after World War I.
