German Empire Germania with 15 Pfennig Overprint

German Empire · 1919 · 15 Pfennig

The stamp depicts a profile portrait of Germania, an allegorical female figure representing Germany. It features an overprint changing the original 10 Pfennig denomination to 15 Pfennig, along with 'DEUTSCHES REICH'.

Issued in 1919, this stamp reflects the turbulent post-World War I period in Germany, where inflation and political changes led to the revaluation of existing definitive stamps through overprints.
