Germany 1933 Paul von Hindenburg 5pf Green Postage Stamp

This is a German postage stamp from the Weimar Republic/Early Third Reich era, issued around 1933. The stamp is printed in a green monochromatic ink on paper and features the right-facing profile of President Paul von Hindenburg within a circular medallion. The denomination '5' is prominently displayed in the upper-left corner, and the inscription 'Deutsches Reich' (German Empire) is printed in a gothic-style Fraktur typeface at the bottom. The stamp features standard perforation edges. Notably, the specimen has been postmarked with a circular cancel that includes the word 'Automobil' across the upper-right section, indicating it was processed through a specific postal facility or for a specific event. Physically, the stamp appears used and shows signs of minor toning on the paper. The perforations appear relatively intact, though slight rounding of the corners is visible. The printing quality is consistent with the era's gravure or letterpress techniques, showing high detail in Hindenburg's facial features. This design was part of the definitive series that transitioned between governmental regimes in mid-1930s Germany, making it a significant historical philatelic artifact.
