Coats of arms of the states of the Federal Republic of Germany, postage stamp mint never hinged, variety Thuringia, catalog no

As part of the series “Coats of arms of the federal states of the Federal Republic of Germany”, the Deutsche Bundespost issued this 100 (Pf) stamp with the coat of arms of Thuringia on September 8, 1994. There is a variation of this stamp in which two colors are missing . You will receive the variant together with a comparison piece and the matching album sheet. Catalog no. 1716, mint never hinged, with certificate with photograph of the responsible association auditor.

The stamp usually shows the coat of arms of Thuringia as well as an outline map of the Federal Republic of Germany, in which the state of Thuringia is highlighted in color.

The variant is particularly interesting because only the Thuringian coat of arms and the inscriptions "THÜRINGEN" and "DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST" can be seen.

The map of the Federal Republic of Germany, and thus the geographical location of the federal state of Thuringia, is missing, as is the value “100”.

This misprint was caused by the fact that the colors gray-white and olive-green (card and stamp) failed during the printing process, an error that was not noticed during the final inspection.
