Osterode Local Post Stamp, 20 Pfennig

Germany · 1920 · 20 Pfg

The stamp features a central image of a prominent building, likely a town hall or church, with 'OSTERODE' inscribed above and '20 Pfg' below. The design is framed by a simple, decorative border.

This stamp is a local issue from Osterode, Germany, likely issued during the post-WWI hyperinflation period (early 1920s). During this time, many German towns issued their own provisional stamps to maintain postal services amidst the national currency's rapid devaluation.
