Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1984 Hungarian 500 Forint silver coin featuring Cross Country Skiers is that it was designed by renowned Hungarian sculptor and coin designer, Lajos Kiss. Kiss was known for his work in creating commemorative coins and medals, and his design for this coin features two skiers in mid-stride, set against a backdrop of snow-covered trees. The coin's obverse side features the Hungarian coat of arms and the inscription "MAGYARORSZAG" (Hungary) in bold lettering. The coin's reverse side features the two skiers and the inscription "500 FORINT" and "1984" in a smaller font. Overall, the coin's design effectively captures the spirit of winter sports and the beauty of Hungary's natural landscapes.
