This classic colonial issue from German New Guinea features the iconic Imperial Yacht Hohenzollern, a hallmark design of Germany’s overseas territories. Printed in carmine and black, the stamp shows crisp linework of the yacht sailing forward, surrounded by ornate scrollwork typical of early 20th-century German colonial engravings.
Issued between 1901 and World War I, these high-denomination values are prized for their strong colors and relatively low surviving numbers. The example shown has bold impression, clean perforations, and excellent presentation—an attractive addition to any German colonial or maritime-themed collection.
