Description: The stamp features a left-facing profile portrait of Professor Dr. Theodor Heuss, who served as the inaugural President of West Germany. Designed by Max Bittrof, the minimalistic yet dignified vignette highlights the statesman's calm, intellectual demeanor using clean engraved lines against a solid green background. The right-hand margin vertically showcases the text "BUNDESPOST" in white capital letters, while the lower border reads "DEUTSCHE" to signify the issuing postal administration. A large white numeral "10" is positioned directly in front of the president's neck to clearly state the face value in pfennigs.
