Issued by Germany (Deutsche Bundespost) in 1979 to commemorate Tag der Briefmarke (Day of the Stamp), this attractive semi-postal stamp celebrates the culture of philately and the history of postal communication. The design reproduces an ornate historical postal inn sign depicting mounted postal riders, symbolizing early mail delivery in Europe. The denomination 60+30 Pfennig indicates a surcharge that supported philatelic or cultural activities. With its striking red background and intricate gold-style ornamentation, this issue is popular among collectors of postal history and German commemoratives.
