Issued on October 8, 1923 during the height of Germany’s hyperinflation crisis, this 1 Million Mark stamp represents one of the most dramatic symbols of the Weimar Republic’s economic collapse. Part of the Inflation Series, this definitive issue features a purely numeric design with bold inscriptions reading “1 Million” in black over a decorative dark green-blue background. Printed by Reichsdruckerei in Berlin using flat plate typography, it was produced on thin cardboard paper with a printed image size of 17.7 x 21.5 mm and overall stamp dimensions of 22 x 26 mm. The waffle watermark is present in upright orientation and the stamp is perforated comb 14 x 14¼. This denomination was created for extremely high-value postage needs in the final weeks before the Rentenmark replaced the worthless Papiermark. The sheet of 100 stamps shown here is mint, never hinged (MNH), with full original gum and precise alignment of both perforation and print. The overprinted face value “1 Million” exemplifies the surreal monetary environment of the time, when postage rates could change daily. Listed in Michel as DR 314APz; not listed in Stanley Gibbons, but acknowledged as a recognized subtype of DR 127574. Condition Full MNH sheet on original cardboard paper, flawless gum, bright impression, no hinge traces or toning. Estimate "$150 – 180".
