Brand: Germany

Germany · 1923 · 20 Milliarden Mark

A definitive stamp from the German hyperinflation period, featuring a numeral '20' in a rectangle with an overprint indicating 'Milliarden Mark' (Billion Marks). The original value of '20 Mark' is overprinted with the new, vastly inflated denomination.

Issued during the peak of the German hyperinflation crisis in 1923, this stamp dramatically illustrates the rapid devaluation of the German Mark, with its face value reaching billions and reflecting the severe economic instability of the Weimar Republic.
