Issued by Germany (Deutsche Bundespost), this 190 Pfennig definitive stamp features a portrait of Theodor Heuss, the first President of the Federal Republic of Germany (1949–1959). The stamp belongs to the well-known Heuss definitive series, widely used during the post-war rebuilding period of West Germany. Printed in a classic engraved portrait style with a deep red tone, it reflects the dignified design typical of German definitives of the era. These stamps circulated extensively on everyday mail, making well-preserved examples especially appealing to collectors. The series is valued for its historical connection to the early years of modern West Germany.
