Description
Hungary's regional bar associations have a rich historical legacy, tracing back to the passage of Act XXXIV of 1874, which laid the foundation for the modern legal profession in the country. Officially enacted in January 1875, this law led to the creation of territorially organized, self-governing chambers of lawyers with mandatory membership, ensuring both professional independence and the representation of legal interests. These regional bar associations played a vital role in upholding the integrity of the legal system, supporting constitutional institutions, and adapting through times of political and social change. Today, 20 regional bar associations operate across Hungary—one in each county and one in Budapest—continuing their mission to serve both legal professionals and the public seeking justice.

The design is inspired by a stained glass window from the headquarters of the Budapest Bar Association. At its center stands a prominent paragraph symbol, framed by two concentric pearl-like borders. Surrounding this are twenty square elements, each featuring a paragraph symbol, symbolizing Hungary’s regional bar associations. Outside the outer border, the names of these regional centers are inscribed in alphabetical order. The edge of the coin bears the inscription “HUNGARY” at the top, the denomination and the word “FORINT” at the bottom, the year “2025” on the left, and the mint mark “BP.” on the right. The engraver’s privy mark appears just below the design on the right side. 2025 MAGYARORSZÁG BP. |
