The stamps of Hungary had a big year in 1916. After the coronation of a new Austro-Hungarian Emperor, Charles I of Austria, a few types of definitive stamps were issued by the Hungarian Royal Post (Magyar Király Posta). These new stamp designs were very popular, and they would serve as Hungarian definitive stamps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitive_stamp) for years to come.
The eight new high-denomination pictorial definitive stamps of Hungary depicting the famous building of Hungarian Parliament were issued in 1917. They were typographed on paper with WMK 137, and they are perforated 14. The common design features the Parliament Building in Budapest, as seen from the Danube River.
