Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1990 Hungarian 500 Forint coin featuring King Matthias and Queen Beatrix is that it was minted to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the coronation of King Matthias I of Hungary, also known as Matthias Corvinus. He was crowned on January 29, 1464, and his reign lasted until his death on April 29, 1490. The coin's design features a portrait of King Matthias on one side and Queen Beatrix on the other, symbolizing the royal power and legacy of the Hungarian monarchy during that time.
