A striking 1919 Hungarian semi-postal issue featuring the Crown of St. Stephen, originally printed in deep violet and later overprinted with bold red “Hadi segély” (“War Relief”). The stamp also shows a black surcharge of 12 filler, typical of the period’s provisional wartime surcharges. Issued during the turbulent post-WWI era, these overprints are widely collected for their fascinating historical and political context. The crisp impression, clear red overprint, and intact perforations make this an appealing piece for specialists in Hungarian charity issues and overprint varieties.
