<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3616043, member: 46237&quot;]I have a problem with calling any Hungarian coins post-Horthy, classical coins. The classical period ended along with the Kingdom of Hungary with the provisional national government of 1945. WWII saw a fairly clean transition between silver coinage into war time compositions, and then after 1946 the modern coinage metals were established (copper-nickel, aluminum-bronze, nickel, and aluminum). The modern forint system was also introduced in 1946, which is still in use today.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would say Hungarian coins starting in 1992 were <i>ultramodern</i> (the major issues of 1989-1991 were still using the old designs). Most of the modern minor coinage designs were first issued in 1946 under the Second Republic (the 5 fillér was designed under Horthy but only as a pattern). These designs persisted until the late 90s. The general design of the 5 forint also remained consistent from 1946 through 1990.</p><p><br /></p><p>While the coinage definitely changed under the Soviets in 1949 and again after the failed revolution of 1956, these are all still modern issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
