My Hungarian order arrived today

Today I get to add two more contemporary stamps to my collection as my order from Magyar Posta arrived.  These are two beautiful stamps…

Hungary-2011

These were issued on March 4, 2011, as part of the Tourism series.  According to Magyar Posta’s page about this issue, the 160f stamp (Sc# 4186, on the left) shows Sátoraljaújhely (a 750-year old town) featuring the last station of the Hungarian Cavalry with the tops of the Cathedral of St. Stephen and the town hall visible.  The 220f stamp (Sc# 4187, on the right) shows Gödöllő Castle, which is situated northeast of Budapest.
