Issued by Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) in 1970, this attractive semi-postal pair forms part of the annual “Für die Jugend” (For the Youth) charity series, with a surtax supporting youth welfare programs. The stamps depict stylized medieval horsemen, inspired by historic heraldic and manuscript art, rendered in bold colors and dynamic poses. Denominations 10+5 Pfennig and 30+15 Pfennig showcase contrasting artistic styles, making the pair visually striking when collected together. Popular with topical, charity, medieval art, and German collectors, this issue is best appreciated as a complete set.
