A notable aspect of the 1990 coin series produced during the regime change in 1989 is that they still featured the Kádár coat of arms, but the inscription was updated to 'Hungarian Republic.' This period in Hungary, between 1956 and 1989, is known as the Kádár era or the Hungarian People's Republic, named after János Kádár, the country's de facto leader until May 1988.
