Bavaria 5 Pfennig Coat of Arms Definitive

Bavaria · 1888 · 5 Pfennig

The stamp features the crowned Bavarian coat of arms, a shield supported by two lions rampant. The country name 'BAYERN' is at the top, and the denomination '5 PFENNIG' is at the bottom.

Issued by the Kingdom of Bavaria, this stamp reflects its continued autonomy in postal affairs even after the unification of Germany in 1871. It was part of a long-running definitive series featuring the Bavarian coat of arms.
