German Reich 1923 Inflation Overprint
German Reich · 1923 · 2 Millionen Mark
A dark green definitive stamp from the German Reich, featuring a worker's head in profile within a circular frame, originally valued at 500 Tausend Mark. It bears a diagonal red overprint changing the denomination to 2 Millionen Mark.
Issued during the hyperinflation crisis of the Weimar Republic in 1923, this stamp reflects the rapidly depreciating value of the German Mark, necessitating frequent revaluation through overprints.
