Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
This is a Hungarian postage stamp featuring a stylized white dove carrying an envelope in its beak. The dove is depicted against a green background with intricate detailing on its wings and body. The denomination '20 BILLION' is clearly visible within a white rectangle on the envelope. The word 'MAGYAR' appears at the top, and 'POSTA' is printed at the bottom of the stamp, indicating it is from the Hungarian postal service.
History
Issued in 1946, this stamp reflects the post-World War II era in Hungary, a period of significant reconstruction and a strong desire for peace. The imagery of a dove carrying an olive branch, or in this case, an envelope, has long been a universal symbol of peace and hope. Such stamps often served as a visual representation of national aspirations and a message to the world.
Facts
The high denomination of '20 Billion' is indicative of the hyperinflation experienced in Hungary during the early post-war period. This stamp is part of a series that aimed to re-establish postal services and convey a message of peace. Its design is iconic and recognizable among philatelists interested in Hungarian postal history.
Value Fact
Stamps from this era with high denominations can vary greatly in price depending on their condition and rarity. While this particular stamp, if in fine mint condition, might fetch a modest sum, its historical context and symbolic imagery make it appealing to collectors of Hungarian or World War II-era postal items. Market value is often influenced by factors like centering and gum condition.
