Hungary 2025 50th Anniversary of the filing of the Rubik Cube Patent




Issue date 20 January 2025 

Magyar Posta to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the filing of the Rubik Cube Patent has issued a special set of Souvenir sheet with a round stamp. A special foldable version of the sheet that results in a paper version of the Rubik Cube is provided along with souvenir sheet. (Thought initially that the additional folding sheet would contain the stamp but it was not so.. hence listed as just a Odd Shaped stamp..bit disappointing personally)

The Rubik’s Cube®, or Magic Cube as it was originally called, was invented by the Hungarian sculptor Ernő Rubik Jr. Rubik built the cube as a teaching tool to help his students understand three-dimensional objects. On Jan. 30, 1975, Rubik applied for a patent in Hungary for his “Magic Cube,” receiving the patent later that year on Dec. 31 1975.
