Welcome Beny.
Porto means postage due. yours is overprinted to change it from a postage to postage due stamp.
Although the obliterator bars are slightly different from the image in my Scotts catalogue, I believe yours to be a J84 issued in 1922.

Welcome Beny.

Your stamp is a Hungarian Postage Due stamp from 1922. Scott # J84, value few cents.

I believe you have the same image as I do. The bars obliterating the value, and the currency filler. On this stamp currency remains the same, hence no need for extra bars

This stamp's value by itself is nothing because it would cost more to process and deliver it than it is worth. As part of a group of a hundred or more low value stamps that all together added up to a dollar or two or a euro or two it might be worth a few cents as noted above

Hungarian postage due and similar non-regular postage stamps are very common in general collections that are frequently for sale. You can buy almost any collection of Hungary stamps of this era for a few dollars/euros, and it will probably contain this stamp and others like it. For that reason, almost no one is in the market for individual stamps like this and it doesn't pay sellers to list it for sale by itself.

But if you have more where this one came from, then it has value to you as part of your collection.
