Magyar Posta is issuing a commemorative stamp in honour of the centenary of the birth of the engineer, physicist and remarkable scholar and educator Károly Simonyi. The stamp design features a stylised portrait of Károly Simonyi set against the background of a graphical composition referring to his life’s work, including the first Hungarian nuclear particle accelerator, which was built by him. The new issue was designed by the graphic artist Zsolt Vidák and produced by the printing company Pénzjegynyomda. It will be available while stocks last at first day post offices and Filaposta in Hungary from 5 October, but may also be purchased from Magyar Posta’s online store.
