Germany 1923 Inflation Overprint (20 Milliarden Mark)
Germany · 1923 · 20 Milliarden Mark
A green definitive stamp featuring the numeral '200' within a circle, overprinted diagonally in red with '20 MILLIARDEN MARK'. The original stamp reads 'DEUTSCHES REICH' at the top.
This stamp is a stark reminder of the hyperinflation crisis in Germany during 1923, where currency values plummeted rapidly, necessitating massive overprints on existing stamps to reflect new, astronomically higher postal rates.
