Germany · 1923 · 20000 Mark

A definitive stamp from the German hyperinflation period, featuring a numerical design within a circle. The original 200 Mark stamp has been overprinted with a new, much higher denomination of 20,000 Mark.

Issued during the peak of the 1923 hyperinflation crisis in the Weimar Republic, this stamp reflects the rapid devaluation of the German Mark. Existing stamp stock was frequently overprinted with new, higher values to keep pace with soaring prices.
