This 7 Pfennig brown stamp from West Germany, issued in 1961, features a stylized portrait of St. Elisabeth (Hl. Elisabeth), a revered medieval saint known for her charitable works. Part of the long-running "Women in German History" definitive series, this issue honors her legacy within a minimalist frame and bold inscription. The design reflects early post-war printing aesthetics with strong contrast and linear simplicity. A common yet essential piece for collectors of West German postal history or religious-themed stamps.
