Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Pengő - Miklós Horthy (Pattern) 1929 from Hungary is that it was designed by the Hungarian artist and sculptor, György Vastagh. The coin features a portrait of Miklós Horthy, who was the Regent of Hungary from 1920 to 1944, on one side, and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1929 as a pattern coin, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new design. It is made of gold (.900) and weighs 5.85 grams. Despite not being widely circulated, the coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
