Description: This classic stamp portrays the neo-Gothic legislative seat of the nation, framed by ornate borders and the country's postal designation. The specific specimen pictured bears a crisp, bold postmark from a local municipal post office, displaying a partial date cancellation. Issued during a period of shifting denominations, it features the prominent currency value text balanced inside both lower corners of the decorative frame.
Circa: 1920-1924
Condition: Used
Notes:
The design itself belongs to a celebrated engraving family originally introduced back in 1916. It was sketched by artist Vilmos Brandmayer, who won third place in a historic national stamp design competition held to update the country's definitives.
Because of the severe hyperinflation that plagued the Hungarian economy during the post-World War I Regency era, the postal department was constantly forced to print increasingly higher values of identical designs. While earlier iterations of this exact Parliament vignette carried lower face values like filler or single-digit crowns, this later 100 Korona issue reflects the rapidly escalating costs of mailing a standard domestic letter during the mid-1920s.
