This classic 5 Pfennig green stamp from the Germania definitive series (issued 1900–1922) features the allegorical figure of Germania, symbolizing the strength and unity of the German Empire. The design, engraved by Paul Eduard Waldraff and printed by the Reichsdruckerei in Berlin, shows Germania wearing an imperial crown and holding a sword and olive branch, representing both power and peace. It was widely used across the empire and its colonies, often found with various cancellations and watermark variations. This series became one of the longest-running and most recognizable issues of the Deutsches Reich.
