Hungary 1916 Postage Due with Romanian "CMT" Overprint for Transylvania Occupation

Hungary (Romanian Occupation of Transylvania) · 1919 · 2 filler

This is a Hungarian postage due stamp from the 1916 'Harvesters' series, originally designed by Ödön Tull. In 1919, it was overprinted with 'CMT' (Comandamentul Militar Teritorial) by Romanian forces occupying Transylvania. The overprint signifies the provisional postal administration during this period of territorial change.

Following World War I and the dissolution of Austria-Hungary, Romanian troops occupied Transylvania, a region with a significant Romanian population. These overprinted stamps were issued for local use during the military administration before the region was formally incorporated into Romania.
