Cool blue and yellow tones set a courtly atmosphere, where royal portraiture, manuscript detail, and palace memory gather around the modern forint.
Design & Symbolism
Obverse
The obverse is anchored by the portrait of King Matthias Corvinus, with the crowned Hungarian coat of arms placed toward the center-left and a purple-to-green raven OVI set into the surrounding security field. Behind the portrait, fine architectural and ornamental detail gives depth to the composition, connecting the king’s Renaissance-era image with the renewed security language of Hungary’s circulating forint.
Reverse
The reverse centers on the Hercules Fountain at the Royal Palace in Visegrád, accompanied by old Hungarian coins and a detail of the letter C from a seated monk reading a book in an illuminated manuscript. The arrangement moves from royal portrait to courtly setting, linking Matthias Corvinus with palace culture, historical coinage, and the written traditions of medieval Hungary.
Collector’s Insight
For collectors, this 2025 issue belongs to Hungary’s revised 2014-2025 forint series, where familiar national subjects were carried into updated circulation designs with stronger color schemes and security features. The combination of King Matthias Corvinus, Visegrád palace imagery, and manuscript detail creates a compelling intersection of royal history, monetary continuity, and modern Hungarian banknote production.
