This striking German semi-postal stamp was issued in 1969 as part of the Für die Jugend (“For the Youth”) series. It depicts the silhouette of a Warmblood horse, a breed admired for its elegance and versatility. The bold red background enhances the detailed black profile, creating a strong contrast and eye-catching design. With a face value of 30 Pfennig plus a 15 Pfennig surcharge, the additional amount supported youth welfare programs in Germany. A wonderful piece for collectors of horse-themed stamps, charity issues, or German philately.
