Hungary Revenue Stamp, 1868 Franz Joseph I

Hungary · 1868 · 2 Krajczár

This is a Hungarian revenue stamp from the first series issued under the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867. The design features a right-facing profile of Emperor Franz Joseph I, framed by an ornate oval. The denomination '2 KRAJCZÁR' is printed at the bottom, and the inscription indicates its use for official documents or transactions.

Issued shortly after the creation of the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary, these stamps signify Hungary's increased autonomy in internal fiscal matters. They were used to collect taxes on legal documents, receipts, and other official papers.
