Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Pengő was a trial strike coin minted in 1940 by the Hungarian National Bank, and it features a unique design that was never used on any other Hungarian coin. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Admiral Miklós Horthy, who served as the Regent of Hungary from 1920 to 1944, while the reverse features the Hungarian coat of arms surrounded by a wreath. The coin was minted in aluminum, which was a unusual choice for coins at the time, and it weighs only 1.5 grams, making it one of the lightest coins ever produced by Hungary. This coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical significance, and it's considered a valuable addition to any collection of Hungarian coins.
