Magyar Posta ( Hungarian for "Hungarian Post Office") is the Post Office of Hungary . The first Stamp printed by Magyar Posta was issued in 1871 . Two sets of six different values on stamps featuring Ferenc József (Franz Joseph) were released, one Engrave d, the other, Lithograph ed. After World War I had ended, Hungary was occupied many times, by France, Romania and Serbia, each bringing a new overprint into the Hungarian postal system. Many stamps have since been issued, in the early 20th Century they mainly depicted the mythical " Turul " or Hungary's Patron Saint , St. Stephen . Over the years, the currency has changed many times, including Fillér , Korona , Forint and Pengő . Today the Forint is the main currency and the stamps are printed "Magyarország" (Hungarian for "Hungary"). Hungary is famous for its use of goldleaf in its stamps and is sometimes categorised with the Czech Republic, Serbia and Austria. EXTERNAL LINK |
