This 40 Mark green stamp from the Deutsches Reich (German Empire) depicts agricultural laborers harvesting crops, symbolizing the hardworking spirit of post-World War I Germany. Issued around 1920 during the early inflation period, it belongs to the German Agriculture / Laborers series showing scenes of rural life and productivity. The bold “40 m” (Mark) denomination reflects the rapidly rising postal rates of the time. A striking design combining social realism and historical context, it remains a significant piece from the Weimar Republic inflation era.
