Watermarks
The basic Hungarian stamps used for overprinting exist with either or both of the following watermarks:
|
|
| Watermark IX |
Watermark X |
Watermark IX (Scott 210) is a pattern of detached double crosses. It can exist in up to four positions (based on the alignment of the pyramidal cross bases). On single stamps it is often not possible to identify the watermark position.
Watermark X (Scott 266) is a crowned coat of arms with double cross. It can exist in up to four positions (based on the direction that the cross on the crown leans). On single stamps, only two positions are identifiable.
