Comment

Kossuth Shield (Coat of arms) of Hungary (1946-1949): Looks similar to the original Coat of arms but the Crown of Saint Stephen is removed to make it look more republican in nature.

Interesting fact

The 2 Fillér coin was designed by the Hungarian artist, Lajos Kossuth, and features a portrait of Lajos Kossuth, a famous Hungarian politician and revolutionary, on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin features the Hungarian coat of arms. The coin was minted during a time of great political change in Hungary, as the country was transitioning from a monarchy to a republic.
