Szighetvar provisional usage 1869 (Nov. 29): Indicium 5 kr. red from the stationery envelope, punched out by the postmaster of Szigethvar and used instead of definitive stamps, tied by "SZIGETHVAR 29. / XI" cds to piece. An interesting and attractive example of this rarity, cert. Puschmann (2001) Ferchenbauer = € 2'000.rnNote: The usage of stationery cut outs was forbidden since 1861, this ban was renewed in 1866 which results in the rarity of 1867 cut outs in general. Private customers of the post and - like in this case - officials tried to reduce their stocks of unloved stationery envelopes by masking the cout outs with a more or less elaborated 'perforations'.

The first Hungarian stamp 1871: Lithographed 2 kr. chrome-olive perf. 9¼ : 9½, the poor first print with ink spots in the face of the Emperor giving the impression of being pock-marked, the perforation shifted to the base resulting in a strong shift of the design to the top, two illegible datestamps. One of the rarest stamps of Hungarian classical philately. Signed Ferenc Orbán; cert. István Glatz (2020) Mi = € 5'000.rnNote: The new Hungarian state had decided to print its own stamps and to issue them on January 1st, 1871. However, by the middle of 1870 it had became evident, that the planned Engraved definitives could not be produced until this deadline. Therefore, a provisional Lithographed issue was planned with the Printing Office assumed to be able of preparing the necessary stones within a short time. Production probably started in December 1870, nearly eight million stamps and a considerable quantity of postal stationery had been produced, when quality problems were recognised. Eight million stamps and half a million envelopes were destroyed, only the 5 kr. stationery envelopes, postcards, and money transfer orders were continued to be printed. Some of the 2'100 sheets of the 2 kr. were in fact not destroyed and came into use in 1873. They are the earliest Hungarian produced stamps that were actually used. These chrome-yellow stamps were printed on a thick white paper very similar to that of the final Lithographed issue, but the design has a greater resemblance to the first postcards than to the later Lithographed 2 kr. stamp. Besides the spots on the profile, the right outer frame line is jagged and the inside circle of the bead frame is thinned or broken. As mentioned above, few stamps ecscaped the destruction, only about a dozen examples have been found so far, a complete cover is in the collection of the Hungarian Postal Stamp Museum in Budapest.

An outstanding example of this rarity with just 11 known examples printed in green. Specialists have stated that the colours may have corresponded to the D.D.S.G. stamps of the period (thus this would be a 10 kreuzer adhesive), however the general concensus, led by Dr. Ferenc Nagy is that, regardless of colour, the stamps were sold at 5 kreuzer each. The three covers known are all housed in the Budapest Postal Museum, 18 stamps exist of which 11 are recorded in green: the known dates of use run from 17 July until November 1875.
