Hungary · 1945 · 2 Pengő on 4 Pengő

This is a Hungarian revenue stamp used for animal passports, specifically for horses and oxen. The base stamp, originally valued at 4 Pengő, has been overprinted with a new value of 2 Pengő. The stamp was issued for use in the Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun county, as indicated by the cancellation for Újhartyán.

Issued in the immediate aftermath of World War II, this overprinted revenue stamp reflects the economic turmoil and hyperinflation Hungary faced, necessitating the revaluation of existing fiscal instruments for administrative purposes like livestock registration.
