Magyar Posta is commemorating the tercentenary of the birth and the 245th anniversary of the heroic death of Michael Kováts de Fabriczy by issuing a promotional personalised stamp. Born Mihály Fabriczy Kováts, he was among the émigré Hungarian military officers who becameinternationally known, taking the Anglicized name Michael Kováts de Fabriczy. He built up a huge cult following in the United States of America as a volunteer in the American War of Independence, but his name was also highly regarded among the Hungarian Hávor Hussars, the French Hussards de Bercheny, the Prussian Székely Hussars and the freedom fighters of the Polish Bar Confederation. The new issue, made by printing on the label of the personalised stamp, was produced in 35,000 copies by the banknote printing company Pénzjegynyomda and can be purchased at Filaposta and designated post offices in Hungary, or ordered from Magyar Posta’s online store from 9 May 2024.
