German Reich 1922 Elderly and Child Aid

German Reich · 1922 · 10 Mark + 10 Mark

The stamp features a stylized depiction of a mother and child on the left, and an elderly person on the right, symbolizing aid for the young and old. The design is framed by the country name 'DEUTSCHES REICH' and the denomination '10 MARK + 10 MARK'.

Issued during the hyperinflation period in the Weimar Republic, this semi-postal stamp carried a surcharge to raise funds for social welfare programs assisting the elderly and children. It reflects the severe economic and social challenges Germany faced post-World War I.
