About this plate
THE SOCIALIST-ERA PLATE. Two letters and four digits from autumn 1958 until the August 1990 reform, with the private/commercial colour inversion described above. This is the layer either side of which Hungary changed political system, and it is the file's weakest-evidenced standard series: the instrument is named but unread, and the printed separator is unknown.
About its years
The secondary dates the six-character two-letter/four-digit plate to autumn 1958 and NAMES its legal basis as "1/1958. BM. és KPM. együttes rendelet", a joint decree of the Interior and Transport ministries.
Region code notes
The two letters of this series are NOT a district code.
