This 1978 Berlin issue honors Albrecht von Graefe (1828–1870), a pioneering German ophthalmologist regarded as one of the founders of modern eye surgery. The finely engraved design presents a full-length portrait of von Graefe with exceptional line detail, set against an ornate architectural backdrop. Issued by Deutsche Bundespost Berlin, this 30-Pfennig commemorative is well-known among medical-theme and German history collectors. A clean, sharply printed example adds strong thematic and historical value to any Berlin collection.
