Description:

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the introduction of the forint, the Magyar Nemzeti Bank is unusually issuing six commemorative versions of the 5 forint circulation coin in a total of 12 million copies. The coins, placed in the right order, form the word FORINT, and the headquarters of the Magyar Nemzeti Bank in Szabadság tér are displayed as a mosaic. The thematic side of the jubilee 5 forint coins was created based on the graphic work of Mónika Gyuró, whose designs proved to be the most popular in the public vote conducted in February. Each of the six elements of the coin images shows a detail of the building of the Hungarian National Bank, which - placed in the right order - together show a perspective view of the building. The individual letters of the word FORINT are also part of the six types of coin composition, whose unique font, commemorating the anniversary, recalls the font of the inscriptions that appeared on the forint coins put into circulation in 1946. On the thematic side of the coins, you can also see the inscriptions "75 YEAR FORIN" and "HUNGARY" indicating the place of issue, as well as the year "2021" indicating the time of issue. The nominal side of the commemorative versions is the same as the HUF 5 circulation coin. The public will be able to meet the new coin in cash payments and during everyday purchases. In order for the commemorative circulation coins to be issued to reach as many citizens as possible, the Magyar Nemzeti Bank will issue 2-2 million coins per letter, i.e. a total of 12 million coins, which will thus be the commemorative versions of the circulation coin in the largest number of copies in the history of the forint. After the issue, the special five-forint notes will gradually spread in circulation in line with cash circulation needs. The jubilee coins will also be available for purchase in special sets. From the 12 million frame, 12,000 first-day (normal mint-bright) mints in numbered decorative packaging - which includes all six coins - can be purchased from August 3, 2021 in the online store and coin shop of Magyar Pénzverő Zrt. (The address of the coin shop is: Budapest, V. kerület, Báthory u. 7, the online store is available at www.penzvero.hu). The coins with the word FORINT will also be available in the sales channels of Magyar Pénzverő Zrt. in a decorative box and wrapped in rolls, each of the six types of coins will contain one rollin in the decorative packaging.
