Issued during the dramatic 1923 Weimar Hyperinflation period, this postage due stamp (Portomarke) shows a bold 100,000 Mark surcharge applied over the earlier 30 Mark design. The inscription “Vom Empfänger” indicates payment required from the recipient for insufficient postage. Rapid currency collapse forced postal authorities to repeatedly overprint existing stocks, creating numerous collectible varieties. Inflation overprints like this are historically significant and highly sought after by specialists in German economic and postal history. Well-centered examples with clear surcharge impressions are especially desirable.
