The Magyar Nemzeti Bank issued a commemorative coin named "Király kis Miklós" ("King Little Miklós") on the birthday of Elek Benedek, coinciding with the Day of Hungarian Folktales. This coin is the second in a seven-part series designed to showcase the values and visual world of Hungarian folk tales.
The coin series celebrates the Hungarian folk tales cartoon series, produced by Pannónia Filmstúdió in 1977, which features 100 episodes. This series has been recognized for its authentic depiction of Hungarian folk tales, capturing the nation's soul and character. In 2020, it was included in the Collection of Hungarian Folktales for its unique visual, musical, and narrative qualities. The commemorative coin aims to honor and perpetuate these cultural traditions.
