"On 25 April 2011 the President of the Republic of Hun-gary signed Hungary’s new Fundamental Law, which replaces the 1949 constitution that came into force at a time when the country was deprived of its self-determination. The new Fundamental Law is the foun-dation of all the country’s law and the symbol of a truly free and democratic Hungary, through which a transi-tional period has been brought to an end. It is a covenant between Hungarians of the past, present and fu-ture, and points to the paramount need for spiritual and intellectual renewal. The new Fundamental Law respects the achievements of the country’s historic consti-tution and the Holy Crown, which embodies the continuity of Hungary’s one-thousand-year-old constitutional state and national unity. On Magyar Posta’s numbered philatelic speciality the Holy Crown of Hungary printed in 23 carat gold leaf rising from the plane of the paper is featured. The bor-der is adorned with a work by Miklós Köllő, the statue of King Saint Stephen from the dome hall of the House of Parliament, as well as its vaults. When placed under UV light, the inscription in Hungarian “May there be peace, freedom and concord” is visible. On the special stamp block with red numbering, cut glass crystals sparkle in the place of the precious stones decorating the Holy Crown."
