Liechtenstein – Scott #s 472-73, used

Description

Liechtenstein – Scott #472–473 (1977) – Prince Franz Josef II & Princess Gina – Used Pair

This elegant two-stamp set, Scott #472–473, was issued by Liechtenstein in 1977 and features finely engraved portraits of Prince Franz Josef II and Princess Gina (Countess Georgina von Wilczek). These stamps were among the later definitive issues celebrating the principality’s beloved ruling couple.

Designed with exceptional detail, each stamp includes:

• A lifelike engraved portrait

• Clean, modern typography

• The inscription “FÜRSTENTUM LIECHTENSTEIN”

• Denominations:

  • 2.50 fr – Princess Gina (Scott #472) in deep violet

  • 3 fr – Prince Franz Josef II (Scott #473) in slate-black

Both stamps are used, with clean, circular cancellations dated 1978, typical of postal use from Zurich and nearby regions. The impressions remain crisp, and the postmarks add historical authenticity without obscuring the portraits.

A beautiful pair for collectors of Liechtenstein royalty, portrait engravings, and European definitive issues.
