Postage stamp made of paper, rectangular in shape with scalloped edges and approximately 1 1/16 inches (2.6 cm) tall by 7/8 inches (2.2 cm) wide in size. An inked rectangle with white image and inscription is found on one side. The ink is gray in color and the inked rectangle is smaller in size than the paper itself leaving an ink free boarder around the edge. Profile image of a man’s face facing to the left is found at the center of the image and is enclosed in a circle. “Deutsches Reich” is along the bottom of the inked gray rectangle and “30” is found in both top corners of the inked gray rectangle. On top of the gray and white image are two additional black ink stamps. Both black ink stamps extend past the area of the postage stamp; the first extend past the top and right edges, the second past the right, left, and bottom edges. The visible part of the first stamp is sections of two concentric arcs. The visible part of the second stamp includes two concentric arcs crossed with a horizontal straight line that extends between the right and left edges of the smaller, inner arc. Above this horizontal line and between the two arcs “REIENSEN” is stamped. Below the horizontal line “11.338 10” is stamped. Adhesive is found on the other side. The image from the other side is faintly seen in reverse on adhesive side.
