Description
Watermark:
Avers:
The engraving of Lajos Kossuth portrait is based on that photo (photographer is unknown).
Lajos Kossuth de Udvard et Kossuthfalva (Louis Kossuth, Ľudovít Košút, 19 September 1802 - 20 March 1894) was a Hungarian lawyer, journalist, politician and Regent-President of the Kingdom of Hungary during the revolution of 1848-49. He was widely honored during his lifetime, including in the United Kingdom and the United States, as a freedom fighter and bellwether of democracy in Europe. Kossuth's bronze bust can be found in the United States Capitol with the inscription: "Father of Hungarian Democracy, Hungarian Statesman, Freedom Fighter, 1848-1849".
Coat of arms of the Hungarian people's republic.
The new Socialist coat of arms was created in late 1957 by combining the general shape of the "Rákosi badge" with a small shield in the middle that had its entire area covered by the Hungarian national tricolor. This so-called "Kádár badge" conveniently omitted the cross from the non-religious Hungarian insignia, but it was scrapped during the change of regime in 1989.
Denomination in numeral on the left side. In words on the top.
Revers:
The engraving is made from the painting by Karoly Lotz "Escape from the Storm" ("Menekülés a közelgő vihar elől").
Lotz Károly Antal Pál or Karl Anton Paul Lotz (16 December 1833 - 13 October 1904) was a German-Hungarian painter.
Denominations in numerals are repeated four times, in words are on the right and left sides.
