Hungary Third Republic (1989-now) .500 Silver 200 Forint

In September 1992, the Magyar Nemzeti Bank ordered the test minting of the 200 forint coin and the serial production of the first 500,000 coins from the Magyar Pénzverő. In 1992, the Mint delivered 50 proof proof coins dated 1992 and 30,000 proof coins to the bank, as well as produced another 50-50 minted and proof proof coins dated 1993. However, he was only able to confirm the mass-produced mints with delivery in February 1993, as the domestic wafer manufacturer was not prepared to produce larger quantities of silver wafers in 1992. Presumably for this reason, the MNB ordered the production of the wafers required for the serial production of the 1992 200 HUF and the minting of the coins from the British Royal Mint. On the other hand, the plates of the 1993 series-produced mints were already produced by a domestic manufacturer and minted at the Hungarian Mint. (Source: Magyar Pénzverő Zrt.
