This 70-Pfennig commemorative stamp, issued by Deutsche Bundespost Berlin in 1976, marks the 50th anniversary of the Internationale Grüne Woche Berlin (International Green Week), held annually since 1926. The design, in vibrant green and yellow, features stylized wheat stalks symbolizing agriculture and food production — central themes of the fair. The inscription “1926–1976” highlights the milestone anniversary, while the vertical text along the left edge reads “Internationale Grüne Woche Berlin 1976.”
