FACTS & FIGURES

On October 1, 1943, the Reichspost issued a stamp to celebrate the 11th Anniversary of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Goldschmiedekunst (German Association for Goldsmiths' Art), a German non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of international contemporary design trends of Jewellery and utensils. The two stamps depict the “Statuette of Saint George”. The statuette was made to house a relic of Saint George that Archbishop Ernst of Cologne sent in 1586 to his brother Duke Wilhelm V of Bavaria. In the seventeenth century, the statuette was displayed on important feast days on the altar of the Rich Chapel in the Munich Residence.
