German Basket Weave with 2 Million Mark Overprint, 1923

Germany · 1923 · 2 Millionen Mark

The stamp features a green basket weave pattern with 'DEUTSCHES REICH' at the top and '200 MARK' at the bottom. It bears a diagonal black overprint reading '2 MILLIONEN'.

This stamp is a stark reminder of the hyperinflation crisis in Germany during 1923, where rapidly depreciating currency necessitated frequent re-denomination of postal values through overprints.
