    1938 Hungary"NOT POLAND" 5 Pengo

    These are the type of things I pick up on a whim when I go coin browsing.It is a 1938 coin commemorating the 900th anniversary of the death of St. Stephan.It looks almost prooflike in certain light.When I got it home,I noticed the beautiful edge design.This was some amazing coin artistry!

    Mikjo0,this coin was issued by the Kingdom of Hungary,which was
    nominally a monarchy,but it was under the regency of Admiral Miklos Horthy (ruled 1920-44). St Stephen is Hungary's patron saint,hence the name St Stephen's Crown.
