British Forgeries of Germania Stamps, 1918
German Empire · 1918 · 10 Pfg, 15 Pfg
Two stamps featuring the allegorical figure Germania in profile, wearing a helmet with oak leaves, with 'DEUTSCHES REICH' at the top and the denomination at the bottom.
These are British forgeries of German Germania stamps from 1918, created during World War I, likely for propaganda purposes to undermine German morale or finance intelligence operations.
