2019 is the year the anniversary “300 Years of Liechtenstein“ is celebrated. On that occasion Liechtenstein has dedicated various stamp and coin issues you can find in this new special edition. Considering the famous art collection of the Princely House, it is not really surprising that, in addition to other important international events, artists are honoured periodically. In 2019, for instance, Liechtenstein has dedicated the issue of a stamp block to Leonardo da Vinci on the occasion of his 500th date of death. Yet today you will look for his portrait of Ginevra de Benci in the princely collections in vain, as the description of issue MiNo. 268 will tell you. Like the eight other world-famous paintings of this set, on the date of issue in 1949 it was still part of the aristocratic picture gallery: just a small example of the information you will find in a MICHEL – which can be surprising at times. Image: MiNo. 268: Ginevra de Benci; by Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) (in the National Gallery, Washington, since 1967). |

In 2019 Liechtenstein celebrates the “300 Years of Liechtenstein“ tricentennial. That refers to the unification of the two sovereignties of Schellenberg and Vaduz in 1719 and the decision of Emperor Charles VI to make this territory the self-governing principality under the emperor. This was the foundation for today’s sovereign State of Liechtenstein.
This year, that key event for Liechtenstein has been honoured by a variety of stamp and coin issues that are recorded in the respective sections of this
new Michel Catalog Liechtenstein-Spezial 2019/2020.
And there are even more issues that focus on life in Liechtenstein and important international events, such as the 500th date of death of Leonardo da
Vinci. However, today his portrait of Ginevra de Benci is no longer part of the princely collections, as you will read in the description of issue MiNo.
268 – a small example of the surprising information MICHEL reference books hold in store.
Every chapter of this year’s edition of the Michel Catalog Liechtenstein-Spezial 2019/2020 has again been carefully edited, many novelties have been included, and the appraisals have been reviewed. That has resulted in numerous new appraisals, of which especially the appraisals of letters are worth mentioning, because they show particularly many increases in value.
This review was again done with the support of the employees of the Liechtenstein Postal System. We take this opportunity to thank them and all of our other assistants who helped with this catalogue. All issues up to and including September 2nd, 2019, insofar as they were already available, have been included in this edition. Any other novelties will be presented in MICHEL Rundschau and MICHEL Online.
And now we hope you will enjoy many fascinating hours with the new Michel Catalog Liechtenstein-Spezial 2019/2020 and your own Liechtenstein collection.
Schwaneberger Publishing House
The Editorial Team
Users of the MICHEL catalogs value the comprehensive and detailed listings of collectable items. The MICHEL catalogs are among the best in the world when it comes to details, comprehensiveness and illustration. MICHEL products have been awarded well over 600 medals (including 31 gold), diplomas and honorary prizes in the course of the company’s history. The expertise of the Schwaneberger publishing house’s staff is outstandingly represented in the MICHEL catalogs.
The colourful, varied range of products includes standard and special-edition catalogues for Germany, Europe and overseas. There is also philatelic literature, the MICHEL-Exklusiv album, the MICHEL Colour Guide, the MICHEL-Lux examination lamp and the MICHEL-Rundschau monthly magazine. More than 85 different products in total.
MICHEL also enjoys a good reputation in electronic publishing thanks to various software programs, websites and e-catalogs. It is no wonder that the MICHEL catalogs have been known for years as the “philatelists’ bible”. However, bearing this accolade brings with it the responsibility of always remaining at the top with regard to quality.
The 669,000th MICHEL catalog number was issued recently. A look at the most important of the 85 different MICHEL catalogs reveals that the catalogues for Europe and overseas alone make up some 25,000 catalog pages. They contain 314,000 pictures and 1,800,000 price quotations. Most of this information is stored in powerful picture and text databases and is consulted, revised and corrected for each new edition of a MICHEL catalog. And of course that also applies to each individual page, irrespective of which MICHEL catalog it comes from. MICHEL goes to great lengths on its customers’ behalf. MICHEL’s editorial team spends an average of 45 minutes on research for each new set of stamps. Around 18,000 new stamps appear each year, which are then catalogued and published in the MICHEL-Rundschau, as well as in the relevant MICHEL catalog and online catalogue.
It is more than 100 years since the stamp dealer Hugo MICHEL from Apolda in Thüringen published the first MICHEL stamp catalogue in 1909. He thereby created a product that would be continually be improved, but never surpassed. In the same year, publisher and philatelic editor Hugo Schwaneberger founded a publishing company that bore his name. The philatelist, who was well known in his field, created the Schwaneberger Album, the first album to adopt a scientific approach.
Owing to the great demand for MICHEL catalog, Hugo MICHEL was no longer able to dedicate himself to his career as a stamp dealer. He therefore sold the rights to the publisher Schwaneberger. The catalogue, which had only covered Europe until that point, was expanded by the new publishing house to include overseas countries.Hugo MICHEL continued to edit the catalogue supplement, which is today known as the MICHEL-Rundschau. The company was then bought by the publisher Eugen Berlin. He moved it to Munich in 1950 where he came across a company, the Carl Geber printing works (now the Gerber Satz und Gerber publishing house) that was able to draw up the complicated catalogue typesetting. The publishing rights went to the Hohenester/Gerber families who assigned them to the publishing house, now trading as the “Schwaneberger Verlag”.
At the turn of the century other stamp catalogues had already appeared, but the remarkable success of the MICHEL catalog was attributed to its sophisticated and comprehensive cataloguing system. The stamps were numbered successively from the first number for each country, yet at the same time organised according to various sub-categories and genres, and described as fully as possible. This system was refined over the years and adapted where necessary - but never had to be changed! In fact, the MICHEL numbering system has become standard in Germany. This is underscored by the numerous licence contracts that the Schwaneberger Verlag has concluded with other publishers. All stock lists of German dealers are organised according to the MICHEL numbering system. Collectors exchange, buy and sell using MICHEL numbers.
