The Magyar Nemzeti Bank issued commemorative coins titled "The sky-high tree" for the 15th Kecskemét Animation Film Festival. This coin was the first in a seven-piece series aimed at showcasing the values and visual world of Hungarian folk tales. The issuance marked the 50th anniversary of the Kecskemét Cartoon Studio, creators of the Hungarian Folktales cartoon series.
The production of the Hungarian Folktales cartoon series began in 1977, which, with a total of 100 episodes and 12.5 hours of material, introduces the viewer to the world of folktales so authentically that on October 15, 2020, the series was recognized as part of Hungary's cultural heritage for its unique depiction of the nation's spirit and values.
