Hungary 1925 Parliament Building 2000 Korona

Hungary · 1925 · 2000 Korona

This definitive stamp features a detailed engraving of the iconic Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest, viewed from the Danube River. The design, by Ferenc Helbing, showcases the grand neo-Gothic architecture of one of Hungary's most famous landmarks. It is part of a series of high-value definitives issued in the mid-1920s.

Issued during a period of severe hyperinflation in Hungary following World War I, the high face value of 2000 Korona reflects the economic instability that led to the replacement of the Korona with the Pengő in 1927.
