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.
