Description
Following the day when the Hungarian Money Museum and Visitor Centre is officially opened, the Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB) will issue the commemorative version of the 100 forint circulation coin. With these coins, the Bank wishes to focus attention on the significance of financial literacy and the Money Museum as an authentic and comprehensive source of knowledge.
Additionally, the collector’s version of the circulation coin, to be issued, is a true rarity as the 100-forint bicolour circulation coins have not featured the motif extending from the outer ring onto the base, yet.
The Hungarian Money Museum (Magyar Pénzmúzeum) and Visitor Center of the Hungarian National Bank were officially opened on March 15. The museum is one of a kind in Europe, with its inauguration following years of renovations at the Postal Palace of Budapest.
Issue date: 16 March 2022

Depicts, in the centre field, extending into the ring, a typical section of the building that houses the Hungarian Money Museum and Visitor Centre is shown. Above, a stylised representation of a chart, showing an upward trend, is found and four different coins are placed featuring motifs (the Anjou lily, making a reference to Hungarian gold florins from the Middle Ages, the iconic number of the one-forint coin introduced in 1946, a globe, and a pair of scales) that refer to the themes presented by the Money Museum and the general characteristics of money.
