German Reich 1923 Numeral with Overprint

Germany · 1923 · 2 Millionen Mark

The stamp features a large numeral '500' within a circular design, originally denominated '500 Tausend Mark'. It bears a diagonal overprint changing its value to '2 Millionen Mark'.

Issued during the peak of Germany's hyperinflation crisis in 1923, this stamp with its overprint dramatically illustrates the rapid devaluation of the German Mark and the government's struggle to keep pace with currency changes.
