Hungary · 1918 · 10 fillér

This stamp features an overprint of 'MAGYAR POSTA' on the 1916 Harvesters issue. The original design depicts two farmers, a man and a woman, harvesting wheat with scythes, symbolizing Hungary's agricultural heritage. The overprint signifies the transition period and establishment of a new postal authority.

Issued in 1918, this overprint marks the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I and the establishment of the First Hungarian Republic. These provisional issues were necessary to update existing stamp stock for the new state.
