Description: This muted sage-green postage stamp is a definitive issue from the West German postal service, Deutsche Bundespost. The design features the familiar left-profile head portrait of Prof. Dr. Theodor Heuss, the intellectual statesman who steered the young Federal Republic of Germany as its first president. In a stark, modern sans-serif typeface, the state inscription "DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST" sweeps cleanly around the top of the medallion, while the face value of 10 Pfennig sits anchored horizontally across the bottom frame. The stamp shows a dense background texture and is covered by a highly distinct, heavy black circular town cancellation mark.
Circa: 1954 – 1960
