Hungarian 25 Korona Commemorative Stamp (1823-1923)

This item is a Hungarian commemorative postage stamp, likely issued in 1923, depicting a male bust within a rectangular frame. The stamp features a sepia or monochromatic color scheme, giving it an aged appearance. The central image is a portrait of a man, likely a historical figure, facing slightly to the right with a serious or contemplative expression. He has curly hair, a mustache, and a short beard (goatee). He is wearing a collared shirt under what appears to be a jacket or cloak. Below the portrait, a leafy wreath or garland is visible, symbolizing honor or achievement. The top border of the stamp clearly reads 'MAGYARORSZAG' (Hungary), indicating its country of origin. Below this, separated by the portrait frame, are the dates '1823' on the left and '1923' on the right, suggesting a centenary commemoration. The bottom border of the stamp displays the denomination '25 KORONA', identifying its postal value. The stamp has perforated edges, a standard feature for most postage stamps, indicating it was intended to be separated from a sheet. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious tears or significant creases visible, although some slight discoloration consistent with age is present. The printing quality seems fine, with clear details in the portrait and text. The aesthetic suggests a classical or historical style, common for commemorative issues of that era. Its purpose was to commemorate a significant event or person from 1823, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 1923.
