This definitive stamp features a detailed engraving of the iconic Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest, situated on the bank of the Danube River. The design is a classic example of early 20th-century Hungarian philately, showcasing national pride through its most famous architectural landmark. The denomination is prominently displayed in the upper corners.

Issued during a period of severe hyperinflation in the Kingdom of Hungary following World War I, this high-denomination stamp reflects the economic turmoil of the time. The choice of the Parliament Building symbolized national stability and identity amidst the post-war challenges.
