This 50 Pfennig stamp originates from the Kingdom of Württemberg’s official service series, inscribed “Amtlicher Verkehr” (“Official Business”). Following Württemberg’s postal integration into the German Reich in 1920, existing local issues were overprinted with “Deutsches Reich” to indicate their use under national postal authority. The ornate diagonal design in carmine red features the denomination “50” within baroque-style scrollwork. Such overprinted issues mark the administrative unification of regional postal systems into the Weimar Republic era, making them an important transitional collectible.
