German Inflation Period Postage Stamp (75 Tausend Mark)
This item is a German postage stamp from the inflation period, likely early 1920s. The stamp is predominantly green and features a square design with perforations along all four edges, indicating it was intended to be detached from a larger sheet. The central motif is a large circular shape, also in green, providing a background for the denomination. Prominently displayed within this circle are the numbers '75' in a dark, possibly black or very dark green, bold font, signifying the value. Below the '75', the word "Tausend" (German for 'thousand') is written in a similar dark, calligraphic or Gothic-style font. Above the central circle, across the top border of the stamp, the text "Deutsches Reich" (German for 'German Empire' or 'German Realm') is visible in a somewhat lighter, stylized font. The background of the outer square design appears to have a fine, cross-hatched or woven pattern. The overall color scheme is green with dark text, characteristic of many stamps from this era. The perforations appear relatively clean, suggesting it was carefully separated from a sheet. There are no obvious tears or major creases, though slight yellowing or toning consistent with age is perceptible, particularly around the edges and in the white of the perforations. The image quality makes it difficult to discern exact paper type or watermarks, but the visible details point to it being a standard printed postage stamp of the period, reflecting the extreme hyperinflation experienced in Germany at the time.
