DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST on 4th February 1997 issued a commemorative stamp to mark the 100th birth anniversary of former Federal Republic of Germany Chancellor Ludwig Erhard. This 100 Pf postage stamp showed a portrait of Ludwig Erhard and the iconic federal eagle. Shown here is a maxicard, first day cover cachet and folder with the postage stamp affixed to each item. Postmark cancellation originated from Bonn.
