Germany 1923 Korbdeckel 500 Tausend Mark Overprint

Germany · 1923 · 500 Tausend Mark

A reddish-brown definitive stamp from Germany's Korbdeckel series, featuring an abstract basket-weave pattern and a large black overprint of '500 Tausend Mark'.

Issued during the peak of Germany's hyperinflation period, this stamp reflects the rapidly depreciating value of the German Mark, necessitating frequent and massive overprints on existing stock.
