Issued by Germany (Bundespost) in 1991 as part of the annual Für die Jugend (For the Youth) semi-postal series, this attractive stamp depicts the Lycaena helle, known in German as the Blauschillernder Feuerfalter (Violet Copper butterfly). The additional +30 Pfennig surcharge supported youth welfare programs, making it both a postal and charitable issue. The finely detailed scientific illustration style reflects Germany’s strong tradition of nature-themed philately. Butterfly and fauna thematic collectors highly value this issue for its clean design and conservation awareness theme.
