This definitive stamp features the iconic 'Germania' design, an allegorical personification of the German nation. She is depicted in profile, wearing armor and a crown of oak leaves, symbolizing strength and endurance. The inscription 'REICHSPOST' indicates it was for use throughout the German Empire.
