Bizone (Germany) · 1948 · 65 Pfennig

A 65 Pfennig stamp from the Bizone (British-American Occupied Zone) of Germany, featuring a distinctive network overprint that is inverted.

Issued in post-WWII Germany, this stamp belongs to the Bizone administration, which managed the British and American occupation zones before the formation of West Germany. The inverted overprint makes it a significant philatelic error from a period of reconstruction and political transition.
