Step back into history with this authentic 1923 German Weimar Republic hyperinflation surcharge stamp. This fascinating philatelic artifact tells the story of one of the most extreme economic crises in modern history. By the late summer and fall of 1923, the value of the German Mark devalued so quickly that the postal service could not print new stamps fast enough to keep up with skyrocketing postal rates. As an emergency fix, the government began overprinting existing stocks of lower-value stamps with massive denominations. This specific piece features a crisp, bold black "2 Millionen" overprint layered perfectly across an original 200-Mark red-orange decorative base stamp.
Condition: Vintage / Unused (Please see high-resolution photos for exact centering, perforations, and condition details).
