German Reich 1923 Numbers in Circle with 2 Million Mark Overprint
German Reich · 1923 · 2 Millionen Mark
The stamp features a large numeral '200' (from the base stamp) and '2 Millionen' (from the overprint) within a circular design, with 'Deutsches Reich' at the top and 'Mark' at the bottom. The overprint is prominently displayed diagonally across the original denomination.
This stamp is from the hyperinflation period in Germany (Weimar Republic) in 1923, where denominations rapidly increased, necessitating overprints to keep up with the rapid devaluation of the Mark.
