Description
Issued in 1902, Germany Scott #29 is a definitive stamp from the celebrated Germania series, one of the most iconic and long-running designs in German philately. The Germania issues symbolized national identity during the late Imperial period, portraying Germany as a regal, allegorical woman rather than a political figure.
The design shows Germania, crowned and robed, holding a sword and olive branch within a richly ornamented frame of laurel and imperial symbols. The fine engraving and symmetrical layout give the stamp a stately, almost medieval elegance that became synonymous with German postage for over two decades.
With a denomination of 5 pfennig, this stamp paid local and printed-matter rates, making it one of the most commonly used values of the series and a workhorse of everyday mail in early 20th-century Germany.
This example is offered used, showing a clear cancellation with intact perforations and strong remaining detail. A cornerstone issue for collectors of Imperial Germany, classic definitives, and engraved stamp design.
