Germany 1932 Paul von Hindenburg 6 Pfennig Postage Stamp

This is a 6 Pfennig postage stamp from Germany's Weimar Republic or early Third Reich period, specifically from the Hindenburg Medallion series issued around 1932-1933. The stamp features a profile portrait of Paul von Hindenburg, the second President of Germany, set within a circular medallion. The design is printed in a distinct deep green ink on white or off-white paper. At the bottom, 'Deutsches Reich' is printed in a traditional Fraktur (Gothic) typeface. The denomination '6' is prominently displayed in the upper right and left corners. Physically, the stamp features standard serrated perforations along all four edges. A notable feature is the presence of a black circular date stamp (CDS) or wave cancellation mark running horizontally across the center of the image, indicating the stamp was postally used. The condition shows slight rounding of the perforation tips and some minor discoloration consistent with age and postal handling. This specific portrait design was widely used for several years, representing a transition period in German philately. The printing quality is characteristic of state-produced intaglio or typography of that era, showing fine engraving lines in the hair and facial features of Hindenburg.
