Comment
2nd coin in a 3-coin series (10, 20 and 25 forint commemorative silver coins). Official silver set:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1956 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Hungarian Forint, which was introduced as the country's official currency in 1946. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Hungary on one side and the number 20 on the other, with the anniversary year 1956 inscribed below. The use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and collectibility, making it a sought-after piece among numismatists.
