This stamp is part of the second series of stamps of the Saarland, the so-called »Saar II«. With letterpress imprint of the French currency franc = 100 centimes. The motif consists of the Benedictine Abbey Mettlach with its famous "Old Tower". The Benedictine abbey was resettled, destroyed and rebuilt throughout history. Today, the Baroque building of the former abbey (created by abbot Ferdinand de Koeler) with a front length of 112 m is understood as the "Old Abbey". The "Old Tower" is an octagon from the end of the 10th century, rebuilt in the 13th century and until 1794 was Liutwin's funerary church. Since November 20, 1947, the French currency was 1 Franc = 100 centimes on the Saarland stamps. the editorial board therefore records the nominal values ​​of catalog numbers 226 to 378 in centimes.
