This striking Hungarian stamp features the classical 1916 Madonna definitive design, originally issued under the Kingdom of Hungary (Magyar Kir. Posta). The example here is distinguished by a bold red vertical overprint reading “Távolsági levél” (“Long-distance letter”), applied during a postal-rate adjustment period. The overprint transforms the base 10 fillér value for specific long-distance mail use, making it an attractive specialization piece in Hungarian postal history. Collectors value such overprints for their rate-period significance, typography variations, and alignment differences. A strong, clear strike like this enhances display appeal in any Central European or overprint-thematic collection.
