Interesting fact
The 5 Forint coin from Hungary, minted in 1990 as part of the transitional coinage, features an unusual design element - a stylized image of a tree on the obverse side. This design was chosen to symbolize the country's transition from a socialist to a democratic system, and the tree is meant to represent growth, renewal, and the connection to nature. The coin's design was created by the Hungarian artist, László Szlávics, and it's a unique and distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins in the series.
