Hungary · 1913 · 10 Filler

This is a Hungarian telegraph stamp from the 1913 series. The design features the denomination '10' within an ornate central oval, flanked by decorative elements. Above the oval is the Crown of St. Stephen, a powerful national symbol, and below is the Hungarian coat of arms. The inscription 'MAGYAR KIR. TÁVIRDA' translates to 'Royal Hungarian Telegraph'.

Issued under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, these stamps were used exclusively for paying fees on telegrams, a critical communication method of the era, separate from the regular postal system.
