This striking Hungarian issue features the ornate green 2 Fillér definitive, later overprinted in bold red with “SÜRGŐS”, meaning Express or Urgent. Issued by Magyar Posta, these provisional express labels were applied to meet rising demand for expedited local mail in the early 1900s. The intricate Art Nouveau floral frame reflects Hungary’s design style of the period, making this overprinted type highly desirable among collectors. Clean impressions of the red overprint—like this one—are particularly prized due to the many variations and subtle typographic differences seen in the series.
