Germany 1923 Official Service Stamp, 100,000 Mark

Germany · 1923 · 100,000 Mark

This stamp features a simple design with the text 'Deutsches Reich' at the top and the denomination '100000 Mark' prominently displayed. It is an official service stamp, identifiable by the 'Dienstmarke' overprint or specific design, used for government mail.

Issued during the peak of Germany's hyperinflation crisis in 1923, this stamp reflects the drastic devaluation of the German Mark. Such high denominations were necessary to keep pace with rapidly rising prices and postal rates.
