Interesting fact
The Ignác Semmelweis coin was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ignác Semmelweis, a Hungarian physician who is considered the savior of mothers. He discovered that puerperal fever, a disease that was causing high mortality rates among new mothers, was being spread by doctors and medical students who had performed autopsies on patients who had died from the disease and then examined new mothers without washing their hands. Semmelweis's discovery led to the implementation of hand washing and hygiene practices in hospitals, significantly reducing the mortality rate of puerperal fever. The coin's design features an image of Semmelweis, along with a stethoscope and a medical chart, symbolizing his contributions to the field of medicine.
