Germany 1923 200 Milliarden Inflation Overprint

Name: Germany 1923 200 Milliarden Inflation Overprint
Brand: Germany

Germany · 1923 · 200 Milliarden Mark

A dark green definitive stamp from the German Reich, featuring the numeral '200' within a rectangular frame. It is overprinted diagonally in red with '200 Milliarden', reflecting the hyperinflation of 1923.

This stamp is a stark artifact of the hyperinflation crisis in Weimar Germany during 1923, where currency values plummeted rapidly, necessitating massive overprints on existing stamps to reflect new, astronomically higher denominations.
