Interesting fact
The Phoenix, a historic ship featured on the 2000 Forint coin, was actually a replica of an 18th-century sailing ship that was built in 1994. It was constructed using traditional methods and materials, and was intended to serve as a symbol of Hungary's maritime history and cultural heritage. The coin's design, which features the Phoenix sailing on the waters of Lake Balaton, was created by Hungarian artist László Szlávics, Jr. and was issued in 1998 as part of a series commemorating Hungarian ships and sailing vessels.
