<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 955045, member: 25357&quot;]Great coins Siberian Man! Thanks for posting. I owe my love for the hobby of coin collecting to my Grandfather who emigrated from Hungary to southern California after WWII to flee the communist regime. He passed parts of his coin and stamp collections to me. Hungary also produces some beautiful stamps.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve posted a Hungarian coin I inherited from him. It is a 5 pengo piece dated 1939. It&#039;s a good sized coin, roughly US silver dollar sized. The obverse depicts Miklos Horthy. His title at the time was: &quot;<b>His Serene Highness the Regent of the Kingdom of Hungary</b>&quot;. He was an Admiral in the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the first World War who eventually became the leader of Hungary in the inter war period and most of WWII until he was deposed in 1944. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The reverse of this coin depicts the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Hungary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
