German Hyperinflation Overprint Stamps

Germany · 1923 · 2 Million Mark to 100 Billion Mark

A collection of German definitive stamps from the hyperinflation period, featuring large, bold overprinted denominations ranging from millions to billions of Marks.

These stamps illustrate the severe hyperinflation experienced in Weimar Germany during 1923, where postage rates increased dramatically, necessitating frequent and increasingly high-value overprints on existing stamps.
