Mail Auction 23 / Philately / Czechoslovakia 1918-1939 / Hussite Issue 1920 - Information
1.6. 1920 Husita.
Autorem poštovních známek s obrazem husitského kněze s kalichem je Alfons Mucha.
Byly vydány pouze 2 hodnoty, 80 h v barvě fialové a 90 h v černé, známky vytiskla opět Česká grafická Unie v Praze, tentokrát hlubotiskem (HT). Pro známky 80 h byla zhotovena pouze 1 tisková forma (TF) se čtyřmi stokusovými deskami, pro hodnotu 90 h byly zhotoveny 2 TF o dvou stoznámkových deskách ve dvou variantách: vedle sebe, kterou byla vytištěna většina známek a pod sebou protisměrně, ze které byl vytištěn jen malý počet listů. Známky byly vydány na bílém, výjimečně na nažloutlém papíru, s bílým až nažloutlý lepem, s řádkovým zoubkováním ŘZ 13¾. U obou hodnot se vyskytuje řada barevných odstínů. Vzácně se vyskytují vodorovná i svislá meziarší obou hodnot na makulaturním papíru.
Protože motiv známek nevyhovoval jedné z tehdejších velkých politických stran, nebyly poštovní známky Husita Hospodářskou ústřednou v Praze přidělovány do mnoha krajů v republice a přesto že byly vydány v poměrně značném množství (od každé hodnoty přes 4 mil. kusů), byly staženy z oběhu. Jejich platnost skončila 30.4.1921, u filatelistické přepážky na hlavní poště v Praze zůstaly ale v prodeji až do roku 1935.
