Got that one too. I am not particularly fond of aluminum coins (too light ) but that is a neat design. The bridge (the Széchenyi Chain Bridge in Budapest) is also shown on the current 200 forint coins.

A somewhat strange (well, "unexpected") design, with all those rays between the country name and the crown. But quite interesting - looks as if the crown was a sun.
