Description
The currency of Hungary is the forint (symbol: Ft; code: HUF), derived from the city of Florence where gold coins known as fiorino d'oro were first minted in 1252. 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. The introduction of the forint on August 1, 1946, played a pivotal role in stabilizing the Hungarian economy post-World War II.
