$3.00 USD
In keeping with its traditions, Magyar Posta is marking the most important annual event in Hungarian philately, Stamp Day, being held for the 99th time, by issuing a special pair of stamps and a special souvenir sheet. The occasion is linked to the 22nd TEMAFILA National Thematic Stamp Exhibition, which is the most prestigious national gathering for motif and thematic collectors.
The pair of special stamps with different denominations issued in honour of the 99th Stamp Day features the Pengő-Fillér series, which entered into circulation in 1926, and the Newspaper Stamp, issued in 1900. The stamp design and frame of the souvenir sheet with a surcharge feature the 1926 Narrow Madonna series. All three themes are well-known and popular elements of Hungarian philately. An interesting aspect of this release is that not only the stamps originally issued but also their proofs from the Stamp Museum’s collection appear on the new stamps.
