Liechtenstein – Scott #s 11-16, hinged

Description

Liechtenstein — Prince Johann II, Definitives (Scott 11–16)

This unused six-stamp definitive set from the Principality of Liechtenstein, cataloged as Scott #11–16, features engraved portrait and heraldic designs honoring Prince Johann II, who ruled from 1858 to 1929 and oversaw a period of political stability and modernization.

The set includes values ranging from 5 heller through 25 heller, plus higher denominations overprinted in black for currency changes, all printed in rich, contrasting colors with ornate frame work and crisp line engraving. Designs alternate between the prince’s profile portrait and the Liechtenstein coat of arms, reflecting the formal, imperial visual language typical of late 19th- and early 20th-century European definitives.

All stamps are offered unused with original gum and hinged, as issued. The reverse shows minor spotting and light toning, visible in the provided image, consistent with age and storage. Fronts remain clean with strong color, sharp impressions, and intact perforations. A solid representative set for collectors of Liechtenstein, European monarchs, classic portrait definitives, or early Alpine state issues.
