Issued in 1948 by the Deutsche Post, this 24 Pfennig stamp commemorates the Hannover Export Fair, one of the earliest trade exhibitions held in post-war Germany to revive international commerce. The design, printed in vivid red, depicts three medieval traders operating a balance scale — symbolizing fair trade, cooperation, and the rebirth of German industry. The inscription “Exportmesse Hannover 1948” at the top marks this historic event, and the Gothic “Deutsche Post” lettering below reflects traditional craftsmanship and national pride. A key issue from the early Bizone (Allied Occupation) period, it remains an important symbol of economic reconstruction.
