About this plate
THE BLOCK-ALLOCATED TAXI PLATE. Under the 1990 system a Hungarian taxi carried an ordinary six-character serial drawn from a reserved range, on a yellow ground, so the FORMAT is the standard one and only the block and the colour distinguish it.
About its years
The EAA-EDZ block is reported without a first-issue date.
