This 60 Pfennig definitive stamp was issued in Germany during the Allied Occupation period (1946–1948) following World War II. Featuring a bold central numeral surrounded by intricate guilloché security patterns, the design emphasized practicality and rapid postal restoration in post-war Germany. Inscribed “DEUTSCHE POST,” it belongs to the famous Numeral (Ziffer) definitive series used across occupation zones before separate West and East German postal systems emerged. The carmine-red shade represents higher domestic postal rates of the reconstruction era. These issues are historically important transitional stamps marking Germany’s postal recovery after WWII.
