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 Nothilfe series, to which these stamps belong, was a crucial fundraising initiative during the Weimar Republic to support social welfare programs amidst economic hardship.
