Germany 1923 Posthorn with 10 Tausend Mark Overprint

Germany · 1923 · 10.000 Mark

A German definitive stamp featuring a posthorn design, originally 100 Mark, overprinted with '10 Tausend Mark'. The image shows the stamp with its sheet margin displaying a Hausauftragsnummer (HAN).

Issued during the severe hyperinflation period in Germany, this stamp reflects the rapidly depreciating currency, necessitating frequent revaluation of postal rates through overprints.
