    just arrived today. I wonder if this is related to this Friedrich?:
    Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle (German: [ˈhɛnlə]; 9 July 1809 – 13 May 1885) was a German physician, pathologist, and anatomist. He is credited with the discovery of the loop of Henle in the kidney. His essay, "On Miasma and Contagia," was an early argument for the germ theory of disease. He was an important figure in the development of modern medicine

    I managed to acquire two more of the 2012 Hungarian pattern set; I am now missing only the 20 forint and 200 forint. Each of these patterns had a mintage of 10, with only 6 in private hands.

    Hungary 2012BP 50 Forint Pattern
    Copper-Nickel pattern of KM-850

    I also picked up another Soviet-era pattern:

    Hungary 1981BP F.A.O. 10 Forint Pattern
    Nickel pattern of KM-620

    This is a pattern of a one year commemorative type that was struck in place of the normal 10 forint type in 1981 in support of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (F.A.O.).

    I have posted this one before but I think these pictures are a bit better. At first I thought that someone harshly cleaned the reverse, but the coin is so tiny and the lines don't go up onto the devices so maybe just die polish lines?

    1966 Hungary proof set.

    D485AE9A-4D51-4374-BA1A-30A5DC24151F.jpeg

    The 5 forint is a restrike of the 1947 5 forint, and was only issued in proof sets. From what I can tell, only 2000
    sets were issued.

    5000 sets were produced of the 1966 proof set (the same number were produced of the similar 1967 set). The case would have originally had a white cardboard slip cover over it and a sheet of grey foam inside to protect the coins during shipping, as this set was primarily made for foreign export. Aside from the 5 forint restrike, which, as you pointed out, was exclusive to the set, the other coins were all contemporary circulating types. Unlike their circulating counterparts, the majors were struck in silver, and the minors were struck in cooper-nickel instead of aluminum. These are just beautiful proof sets to own. Congratulations on your set.

    Thanks Jaelus,
    All of my Krause catalogs list the mintages of all these proofs as 5000 except the 5 forint.
    In the back of Hungary section it lists the proof set issued as 2000.
    Do you have other references that I can check?

    No, it's not. 3,072,365 were minted, worth about $300 or so.

    Krause has a lot of misinformation. They all have the same mintage as they were all only offered in these sets!

    I use the Adamo catalog as it's pretty good on Artex info, but I found that the best information on these is Artex veret (Artex strike) as they get their information first hand from the Artex records. In many cases they have the exact dates and figures for each run. The site is in Hungarian and the numismatic jargon translates into nonsense, but it is also pretty readable in English.
