    Maybe the designer of the stamps need more place for the picture.
    Or the germans have good eyes ;)

    Why the British stamps have only the silhouette of the Queen and no country-name on it? And why this silhouette always shows the Queen like a young lady, although the Queen today is a little older than many many years ago? I would salute it, when the British post would exchange this picture in a new one with a honest and real image of the Queen. Nobody stays young during his life, even not the Queen.

    "Why the British stamps have only the silhouette of the Queen and no country-name on it?"

    Well, apparently the UPU permits UK stamps minus the country's name in honour of being the first country to issue poatage stamps in 1840.
    Other countries have also sometimes omitted the name,for example the US flag stamp of 1963 & others.

    Yes I agree with you regarding the Queen's profile on stamps. Actually here in Canada we still have Queen Elizabeth II on all of our coins and a few years ago a much more "mature" likeness of the queen was used.
