Interesting fact
The 5000 Forint coin featuring a Waterpolo Player from Hungary, issued in 2008 to commemorate the Beijing Olympics, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's design incorporates a special technique called "splashing" which creates the illusion of water movement and gives the impression that the waterpolo player is in action. This technique was achieved by applying a special finish to the coin's surface, creating a unique visual effect that enhances the coin's aesthetic appeal.
