Interesting fact
The Ignác Semmelweis 2000 Forint coin from Hungary features an image of Semmelweis, a Hungarian physician who is known for his pioneering work in the field of antiseptic procedures. He discovered that the spread of puerperal fever, a disease that was common in hospitals at the time, could be prevented by washing hands with soap and water. His discovery significantly reduced the mortality rate of patients in hospitals and paved the way for modern antiseptic practices in medicine.
