## About this plate

THE POST-COMMUNIST REFORM PLATE. Hungary changed system as the old order ended: the two-letter/four-digit plate of 1958 gave way in August 1990 to ABC-123, and the change dropped the commercial/private colour inversion that had been the visual signature of the previous system.

## About its years

START: the secondary reports issuance beginning in August 1990 with AAB-001 as the first plate. END is the EU band's arrival on 2004-05-01, which is a design change and not a format change.
