This classic stamp from the small North Sea island of Heligoland features a finely engraved profile of Queen Victoria in a red oval, framed by a green border. The bilingual inscription “2 Pfennigs / 2 Farthings” reflects Heligoland’s unique dual heritage—then a British possession using both German and English denominations. Issued in 1867, it is one of the earliest and most sought-after Heligoland definitives, printed in vivid typographic colors that appeal to collectors of British colonial and German regional issues alike.
