Germany · 1920 · 10 Pfennig

This stamp features the iconic Germania design, an allegorical representation of the German nation, holding a sword and olive branch. It is overprinted with a new denomination of 10 Pfennig.

Issued during the early Weimar Republic, this overprinted stamp reflects the economic turmoil and hyperinflation that Germany faced following World War I.
