Obverse description		Depicts the Hungarian Parliament Building surrounded by the country name (Hungarian People's Republic). The Hungarian Parliament Building, also called the Parliament of Budapest due to its location, serves as the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary and stands as a prominent landmark and tourist attraction in Budapest. Designed by Hungarian architect Imre Steindl in the neo-Gothic style, it was completed in 1902 and remains the largest building in Hungary. The decision to construct the building was made by the Diet seven years after the unification of Buda, Óbuda, and Pest in 1873, signifying the nation's sovereignty. Steindl's design, chosen through an international competition, was influenced by the Palace of Westminster in London, reflecting Hungary's aspiration for Western European ideals. Construction began in 1885 and concluded in 1904, involving approximately 100,000 workers and utilizing vast quantities of materials. Since World War II, the building has housed a unicameral legislature, with only a portion of it being utilized by the government. Designed by: Iván István	The Hungarian forint is the official currency of Hungary. It has been in circulation since 1946, replacing the Hungarian pengő after a period of hyperinflation. This series is dedicated to the 10th. anniversary. Designed by: Iván István

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.	The Hungarian Parliament Building, also known as the Hungarian Parliament or Országház in Hungarian, is one of the most iconic landmarks in Budapest and a symbol of Hungarian democracy. The Hungarian Parliament Building is situated on the bank of the Danube River in Budapest, Hungary. It is located in the Pest side of the city, facing Buda across the river. The Building is a stunning example of Neo-Gothic architecture. It was designed by Hungarian architect Imre Steindl and construction began in 1885. The building was completed in 1902. The Hungarian Parliament is one of the largest legislative buildings in the world. It has a length of about 268 meters (879 feet) and a width of approximately 118 meters (387 feet). The building has 691 rooms. The central dome of the Parliament is a prominent feature, rising to a height of 96 meters (315 feet). Atop the dome is a distinctive spire and a Holy Crown of Hungary. The Hungarian Parliament is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, the country's legislative body. It houses the offices of the members of parliament, committee rooms, and various administrative offices. In addition to its role as a legislative center, the Parliament is a major tourist attraction in Budapest. Visitors can take guided tours to explore the impressive interior and learn about Hungary's political history. The Parliament Building is illuminated at night, creating a stunning spectacle along the Danube River. The nighttime view is particularly popular for both tourists and locals.

In Hungary, the florentinus, later referred to as the forint, served as a gold-based currency from 1325 under the reign of Charles Robert, setting a precedent followed by several other nations.
