Description: This vertically oriented stamp from the Kingdom of Hungary carries a face value of 10 fillér, indicated by the large bold numeral "10" set inside a decorative white scroll framework reading "FILLÉR" along the base. The intricate center artwork features the iconic Holy Crown of Hungary (the Crown of Saint Stephen) resting beautifully over a sprawling laurel leaf wreath. Perched above the crown is the stylized silhouette of the Turul bird, a legendary divine raptor deeply rooted in national Hungarian origin mythology. Across the arched top border, bold red typography states the country name "MAGYAR POSTA" embedded into an elaborate geometric lattice backdrop. Printed entirely in a vibrant red monochrome ink, the stamp serves as a classic artifact of the late Austro-Hungarian Empire era.
Circa: 1900-1916
Condition: Used - Hinged - torn
Notes:
This design represents the highly celebrated Turul and Saint Stephen's Crown series, introduced to replace older postage arrays following a major Hungarian currency modernization transition.
