This complete mint never hinged sheet of 100 stamps from the 1922 “Workers” definitive issue of the German Reich features the 120 pfennig denomination in a deep violet blue. Designed by Paul Neu and printed by the Reichsdruckerei in Berlin, the stamp depicts a powerful image of miners with tools at work, symbolizing the industrial labor force vital to Germany's economic recovery during the early Weimar years. The motif serves not only as a tribute to physical labor but also as propaganda for national productivity during a period of political and monetary instability. Issued in May 1922, amid escalating inflation and societal unrest, this stamp was part of a wider effort to modernize the postal system while celebrating key professions. Printed using typography on paper with an upright waffle-pattern watermark, the sheet features comb perforation 14 x 14¼. Margin inscriptions are fully intact, including control numerals, plate indicators, and the printer's imprint “Paul & Schwenke, Berlin W.30.” The reverse side shows clean, undisturbed gum and consistent watermark placement. Catalogued as Michel DR 188, Scott DE 173, Yvert et Tellier DR 171, Stanley Gibbons DR 187, AFA DR 188, and Unificato DR 171. Condition Superb MNH full sheet with strong, even color and crisp impressions; minor ink smudge in upper margin does not affect stamp area. Estimate "$150 – 190".
