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.
