Design & Symbolism
Obverse
The obverse is anchored by the portrait of Prince Ferenc II Rákóczi, drawn from Ádám Mányoki’s painting, with the crowned Hungarian coat of arms placed beside ornamental security patterns and a purple-to-green running horse OVI. The composition balances state heraldry, portrait engraving, and modern authentication features, tying a national historical figure to the renewed visual language of the forint.
Reverse
The reverse opens toward Sárospatak Castle, with its architectural mass and surrounding grounds arranged across a soft red field. The castle motif extends the Rákóczi narrative from personal portrait to place, linking noble memory, regional history, and Hungary’s architectural past within a clear modern banknote structure.
Collector’s Insight
For collectors, this 2022 issue belongs to Hungary’s revised 2014-2025 forint series, a modernization of circulating denominations with updated colors and security features. The Rákóczi portrait and Sárospatak Castle create a compelling intersection of historical portraiture, fortified architecture, and post-reform circulation design.
