The stamp features a stylized worker figure and the original denomination '200 Tausend Mark', overprinted with '2 Millionen Mark' due to hyperinflation. The design is simple, focusing on the numerical value and the overprint.

This stamp is a stark example of the hyperinflation period in the Weimar Republic (Germany) in 1923, where denominations rapidly increased, necessitating overprints to reflect new values. It illustrates the economic turmoil following World War I.
