Liechtenstein – Scott # 269, hinged

Description

Liechtenstein — Elisabeth von Gutmann, Princess of Liechtenstein (Scott 269)

This commemorative stamp from the Principality of Liechtenstein, cataloged as Scott #269, honors Elisabeth von Gutmann, Princess of Liechtenstein, consort of Prince Franz I and an important figure in the principality’s royal history.

Issued in a 40 rappen denomination, the stamp features a formal portrait rendered in fine engraving, set within an ornate decorative frame with repeating motifs and a crown emblem above. Printed by Courvoisier S.A., the design reflects the refined aesthetic of mid-20th-century Liechtenstein commemoratives, balancing portraiture with elegant ornamental detail.

Offered unused with original gum and hinged, the stamp shows light hinge evidence on the reverse. The front remains clean with strong color, crisp detail, and intact perforations. A handsome single for collectors of Liechtenstein, European royalty, or classic portrait commemoratives.
