Issued by Germany (Deutsches Reich), this stamp belongs to the famous Germania definitive series, featuring the allegorical female figure Germania symbolizing national unity and strength. The bold 1,60 Mark overprint reflects postal rate adjustments during Germany’s post-World War I economic transition and early inflation period. Originally printed in a reddish-brown tone, the classic Jugendstil frame design makes this series highly recognizable among collectors. Overprinted Germania issues are widely studied for their postal history relevance, print varieties, and usage periods. A strong representative example for collectors specializing in German Empire definitives or inflation-era material.
