1901 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 1901 Yacht Issues can be distinguished from the 1906 Yacht Issues by the addition of a lozenge-shaped watermark to the 1906 issues.

The 30 Pf value can be found with a plate flaw.

MiNr. 16 Plate Flaw I — black dots to left of left value (right)

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.
