Liechtenstein – Scott #s 185-87

Description

Liechtenstein — Prince Franz Josef II & Princess Gina, Portraits (Scott 185–187)

This hinged three-stamp commemorative set from the Principality of Liechtenstein, cataloged as Scott #185–187, features formal engraved portraits of Prince Franz Josef II and Princess Gina, reflecting the principality’s mid-20th-century royal imagery and state symbolism.

The 10 and 20 rappen values present individual portrait designs of the prince and princess, each framed simply with a crown emblem above. The 30 rappen stamp combines both portraits into a single horizontal design, flanked by laurel motifs and the national shield, emphasizing unity and dynastic continuity. Printed by Courvoisier S.A., the set displays crisp engraving, balanced compositions, and rich, even coloration typical of Liechtenstein issues of this era.

All three stamps are offered unused hinged with original gum. Light hinge marks are present on the reverse, consistent with careful album mounting. Fronts remain clean with strong color, clear detail, and intact perforations. A well-matched group for collectors of Liechtenstein, European royalty, or classic portrait commemoratives.
