Description
Bavaria Scott #98 (1911–1919) — Used
This 10 Pfennig carmine red definitive from the Kingdom of Bavaria (Scott #98) features the portrait of King Ludwig III, the last Bavarian monarch. Issued as part of the 1911–1919 typographed definitive series, these stamps represent the twilight of Bavaria’s independent postal authority before incorporation into the German Reich following World War I.
The classic design showcases Ludwig III in formal attire within a circular frame, a hallmark of early 20th-century Bavarian philatelic style. Printed on unwatermarked paper, the issue is known for its sharp engraving and rich tonal contrast.
This example is postally used, bearing a cancel that leaves the king’s profile prominently visible.
Condition: Used; clear cancel; strong color; fine centering; clean perforations.
Issued: 1911–1919
Color: Carmine Red
