200 Saar


Situated on the border between Germany and France the Saar region was shuffled like a pawn during much of the 20th century. After World War I it was administered by the League of Nations from 1920 to 1935, when it then returned to Germany. At the end of World War II Saar became a French Protectorate for 12 years. It reverted back to German control in 1957 and its final postage stamps were issued over 50 years ago in 1959
