MICHEL P120
OFFICIAL POSTCARD
30Pf

Issued 6th May 1920 and featuring a pre-printed 30Pf Germania "DEUTSCHES REICH" stamp. The only text on the card is the word "Postkarte" directly above the vertical divider. There were two printings of this card: The Berlin printing (P120-A) is noticeable as it has 71 dots on each line of the address portion of the card, whereas the Munich printing (P120-B) has 76 dots on each line.

Berlin Printing:
The Berlin printing exists in two variants. Type P120-A-I has 71 dots in the address lines and has a straight edge to it. P120-A-II also has 71 dots in the address lines but now has a serrated edge.

The Munich printing:
This printing only exists in one variation: P120-B.
