Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Pengő (Death of St. Stephan - Trial Proof Restrike) ND (1965) from Hungary is that it features a unique design that was not ultimately adopted as the official coinage of Hungary. The coin's design, which depicts the Death of St. Stephen, was created by the Hungarian artist, Miklós Katzika, and was intended to commemorate the 900th anniversary of the death of St. Stephen, the first king of Hungary. Despite its unique design, the coin was not widely accepted and was ultimately not released into circulation. Instead, it was only produced as a trial proof restrike, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
