NOTW – New Hungarian commemorative coins worth EUR 7-75

The National Bank of Hungary is planning to issue 24 commemorative coins on fourteen themes in 2023. The thematically and technically diverse commemorative coin programme will include the continuation of eight series launched earlier, the MNB informed MTI. It is planned to produce an extraordinarily high-value gold coin, nine silver coins and five non-ferrous metal commemorative coins. The bank will issue non-ferrous versions of the precious metal commemorative coins. The themes also include significant historical, scientific and artistic anniversaries. Such an anniversary is the bicentenary of the composition of the Hungarian national anthem. This year commemorates the 250th anniversary of the birth of one of Hungary’s greatest writers Mihály Csokonai Vitéz. The coin of the Hungarian National Archives, celebrating its 300th anniversary, will also be released. The National Bank of Hungary will issue a commemorative coin in honour of the sacrificial work of the National Ambulance Service, which has been operating for 75 years. The commemorative coins will take a variety of shapes, from the standard circular coins to square and rectangular coins and hexagonal coins. A special feature of the latter is that its pieces will be able to be assembled in a mosaic-like pattern. source: Daily News Hungary
