Germany 2 Million on 200 Marks Hyperinflation Surcharge

Germany · 1923 · 2 Million Marks on 200 Marks

A dark green German definitive stamp featuring an allegorical female figure, overprinted diagonally in red with '2 MILLIONEN' to reflect the hyperinflationary period.

This stamp is a stark illustration of the severe hyperinflation in Germany during 1923, where stamp denominations had to be rapidly increased to keep pace with the plummeting value of the Mark.
