The Federation’s aim is to foster the traditions of and develop Hungarian philately and philatelic culture, to encourage philatelic activities, and to strive to preserve the heritage of Hungarian philately, retain its values and increase its recognition.

It was made in 1997 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Federation’s foundation and is entered in the Guinness World Records. It was made with the help of stamp collectors using 100,000 stamps. The stamp mosaic appears on the label of the stamp issued to mark the anniversary, while the special postmark uses a design related to the topic.
