Bavaria – Scott # 59, used

Description

Bavaria – Scott #59 (1890) is part of the long-running Coat of Arms definitive series, one of the most iconic and enduring designs in Bavarian philately. This 5 Pfennig green issue features the Bavarian royal coat of arms, with a crowned shield supported by two heraldic lions, rendered in elegant typographic detail. Issued under the Kingdom of Bavaria’s semi-autonomous postal administration during the German Empire, this stamp reflects the region’s rich heraldic tradition and pride in its distinct identity. Printed on unwatermarked paper and perforated 14, this example is used, bearing a clear circular cancellation and bright, even color.
