Description
Bavaria Scott #99 (1911–1919) — Used
This 15 Pfennig red definitive from the Kingdom of Bavaria (Scott #99) features a dignified portrait of King Ludwig III, Bavaria’s last monarch. Issued between 1911 and 1919, the series marks the end of Bavaria’s independent postal administration before unification into the German Reich’s postal system.
Printed by typography, the stamp presents a refined composition typical of early 20th-century Bavarian design—Ludwig III’s image enclosed within a simple circular frame above the bold inscription “BAYERN.” The warm red tone and balanced layout lend the issue both elegance and gravitas.
This example is postally used, showing a crisp circular date cancel that enhances its authenticity while leaving the portrait clear and legible.
Condition: Used; light cancel; fine centering; rich color and clean perforations.
Issued: 1911–1919
Color: Red
Denomination: 15 Pfennig
