Description obverse

The obverse is decorated with the exact replica of the reverse of the golden florin issued by the Governor depicting Saint Ladislaus at the centre; above and below, modern legends. MAGYARORSZÁG (Hungary), 50,000 FORINT, 2022

Description reverse

On the reverse, the figure of John Hunyadi is featured, which was inspired by the engraving in the 1488 edition of the Chronica Hungarorum published in Brno. However, in contrast to the engraving, the coin design does not show Hunyadi’s shield, but the obverse of the golden florin, issued by himself, which features a quartered coat of arms. On the coat of arms in the first and the fourth fields the Hungarian stripes are placed while the second displays the double cross and the third features the Hunyadi family’s heraldic beast, the raven. HUNYADI JÁNOS KORMÁNYZÓ (Governor John Hunyadi), 1446–1452, ARANYFORINTJA (golden florin).
