Issued by Germany (Deutsche Bundespost) in 1967–1968, this charming “Für die Jugend” (For the Youth) semi-postal series features detailed illustrations of native woodland animals: Weasel (20+10 Pf), Rabbit (10+5 Pf), Beaver (50+25 Pf), and Badger (30+15 Pf). The additional surcharge supported youth welfare programs, a hallmark of Germany’s long-running Jugend issues. The bold solid backgrounds and finely engraved animal artwork reflect the classic late-1960s Bundespost design style. These stamps are popular among thematic collectors of wildlife, mammals, charity issues, and European fauna. A beautifully coordinated quartet ideal for animal or semi-postal collections.
