Issued in 1972, this pair of Hungarian commemoratives honors two distinct cultural themes. The first stamp (1 Ft, designed by L. Kékesi) celebrates the 500th birth anniversary of György Dózsa, leader of the 1514 peasants’ revolt, depicted in a rich red and brown portrait style. The second stamp (1 Ft, designed by F. Bokros) marks UNESCO’s International Book Year, showing a young reader before a colorful bookshelf — a tribute to education, literacy, and cultural growth. Together, they exemplify Hungary’s blend of historical reverence and intellectual commitment during the 1970s.
