Germany 1930 IPOSTA Berlin Miniature Sheet

Germany · 1930 · 4 x 5 Pfennig + 5 Pfennig surcharge

This miniature sheet was issued for the IPOSTA International Philatelic Exhibition held in Berlin in 1930. It features four stamps, each with a 5 Pfennig face value and a 5 Pfennig surcharge for 'Nothilfe' (Emergency Aid). The stamps in this block have a distinct watermark different from the regular Nothilfe issues.

The IPOSTA 1930 exhibition was a major international event in the philatelic world, showcasing the latest in stamp collecting and postal history. The Nothilfe series, to which these stamps belong, was a crucial fundraising initiative during the Weimar Republic to support social welfare programs amidst economic hardship.
