1900 Yacht Issues
The overprint issues used throughout the German colonies were replaced in 1900/1901 with a standardized design, featuring Kaiser Wilhelm II’s yacht, the Hohenzollern II.
The 1900 Yacht Issues can be distinguished from the 1905/1919 Yacht Issues by the addition of a lozenge-shaped watermark to the 1905/1919 issues.
Two plate flaws exist on the 40 Pfennig value.
MiNr. 13 Plate Flaw I — spot below right value (right)
MiNr. 13 Plate Flaw II — dot in ship’s side (right)
For a proof of these issues, see here.
The larger format Yacht Issues of the German Colonies have slight differences in color, perforation, or frame/center types. For a detailed description of the frame/center types, see the guide to Colonial Frame & Center Types.
