This striking Hungarian miniature sheet, issued in 1969, commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919. The central design features a reproduction of Mihály Biró’s famous revolutionary poster showing a worker raising a red banner, symbolizing the call to arms: “Fegyverbe! Fegyverbe!” (“To arms! To arms!”). Denominated at 10 forint, the stamp is framed within a stormy marble-effect background, with the inscription “MAGYAR TANÁCSKÖZTÁRSASÁG” (Hungarian Soviet Republic) and the year 1919.
A powerful piece of political and philatelic art, this sheet reflects both socialist realist style and revolutionary fervor.
