Famous Personalities

On February 12, 2003, Hungary issued three commemorative stamps featuring famous Hungarian personalities. The 40Ft face value stamp was dedicated to Botanist Rezső Soó. The stamp featured, amongst other things, a portrait of Soó. The portrait was however perceived as being closer to another Hungarian Botanist (Ujvárosi Miklós). Therefore was the stamp withdrawn on March 31, 2003.
