Philex
Philex are collector's catalogs from Germany that appear annually. The issuing program includes catalogs for stamps and coins from all over Europe.
The Philex catalogs are published by Jürgen Ehrlich . They appear in a relatively small and compact format compared to other stamp catalogs . They see themselves as an aid for the collector to give him a quick and clear overview of his collecting area. In the collector's catalogs only the bare essentials are mentioned; Special features are not assessed. The Philex catalogs are therefore intended for beginners in the subject, specialists access additional literature. Normally, the catalog numbers are adopted from the Michel catalogs .
Philex's stamp catalogs are published for Germany, France, Great Britain, Israel, Austria, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein), Spain, the Vatican and the Benelux countries. In addition, Philex stamp catalogs are published that assess the United Nations and European Community issues.
The coin catalogs are limited to a German catalog and a European catalog.
