Depicts the Széchenyi Chain Bridge surrounded by the country name (Hungarian People's Republic).

The Széchenyi Chain Bridge, known as Széchenyi lánchíd in Hungarian, spans the River Danube, connecting Buda and Pest, the two sides of Budapest, Hungary's capital city. Designed by English engineer William Tierney Clark and constructed by Scottish engineer Adam Clark, it holds the distinction of being Hungary's first permanent bridge over the Danube. Completed in 1849, the bridge is anchored on the Pest side to Széchenyi Square and on the Buda side to Adam Clark Square. Named after István Széchenyi, a key supporter of its construction, it is commonly referred to as the "Chain Bridge" due to its chain-link design. Renowned as a marvel of modern engineering upon its completion, the bridge's decorations are crafted from cast iron.

Following the military forces of Nazi Germany in Hungary being defeated by the Red Army, Soviet military occupation ensued, eventually leading to the creation of a communist government in Hungary. Between 1946 and 1949 the Kossuth-style coat of arms was used, then the Hungarian People's Republic introduced a new state coat of arms in line with socialist heraldry, with a layout closely resembling that of the Soviet Union's: wreath surrounds wheat ear and hammer on radiant background below star.
