Hungary 2016 – Holy Crown of Hungary with Glass Crystals MS (Over Print)

Issue date 25 April 2016

Magyar Posta to celebrate Hungary’s Fundamental Law (5years) has reissued the commemorative stamp block on 25 April 2011 featuring the Holy Crown of Hungary affixed with glass crystals with an Over Print. The mini sheet was placed in a special folder. The stamps are embossed with gold leaf foil printing and glow in the dark under UV printing with the Hungarian inscription "May there be Peace, Freedom and Concord". The stamp block will be overprinted with Hungarian inscriptions meaning “Hungary’s Fundamental Law is 5 years old” and “25 April 2016”.

On Magyar Posta’s numbered philatelic specialty the Holy Crown of Hungary printed in 23 carat gold leaf rising from the plane of the paper is featured. The border is adorned with a work by Miklós Köllő, the statue of King Saint Stephen from the dome hall of the House of Parliament, as well as its vaults. When placed under UV light, the inscription in Hungarian “May there be peace, freedom and concord” is visible. On the special stamp block with red numbering, cut glass crystals sparkle in the place of the precious stones decorating the Holy Crown. The stamp block overprint and the related items were produced by ANY Security Printing Company based on the design of the graphic artist who made the 2011 issue, Imre Benedek. (4000 pieces were reissued with the OVP)
