This striking stamp from the Free City of Danzig was originally issued as a 1 Mark red definitive, featuring two heraldic lions. During the hyperinflation crisis of 1923, it received a bold black surcharge reading “1 Million”, dramatically increasing its face value. Such overprints reflected the rapid collapse of currency, when postage rates rose almost daily. The ornate lions and shield design contrasts sharply with the stark surcharge, making it an evocative piece of inflation-era postal history. A must-have for collectors of Danzig, German inflation, and historical monetary themes.
