Marshall Islands 3 Pfennig Overprint

German Marshall Islands · 1900 · 3 pfennig

The stamp features the German imperial eagle design with 'DEUTSCHES REICH' and '3 PFENNIG' text, overprinted diagonally with 'Marschall-Inseln' to denote its use in the German Marshall Islands.

This overprint stamp reflects Germany's colonial presence in the Marshall Islands around 1900, a common practice where existing German stamps were overprinted for use in its overseas territories.
