Lot #514
HUNGARY
1871 (Lithographed), the iconic "first printing" in dark yellow, cancelled "Pest 18/8/73 Terezvaros", good color and perforations, expertly repaired and rebacked, fine appearing example of this world-class rarity from Hungary, only a few known to exist, with 1973 Hungarian certificate; also 2kr postal card and 5kr money order form, both used. The first printing was of poor quality and stamps were immediately withdrawn and destroyed. Only a few copies of 2kr survived and were used in Budapest in the summer of 1873. The postcard and money order forms were released on February 15th despite their equally poor quality, because the supply of earlier forms was exhausted (YT 1)
