The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the first year of operation of the Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society following the amalgamation of the Germany & Colonies Stamp Club (established 1947) and the Stockton German Study Group (1960).
The G&CPS celebrated its inaugural year in 1964 with the first Germania Posta philatelic exhibition held in Stockton.
Can anyone offer an explanation for the huge difference in the Heligoland currency conversion rate of 1875 between the 2 farthings / 2 Pfennigs Mi.12 and the 6 pence / 50 Pfennigs Mi. 16. The rate goes from 1 penny = 4 Pfennigs via 1 penny = 6 Pfennigs Mi. 4 to 1 penny = 8 Pfennigs.
