This is an early concept for the 1982 20 forint which was ultimately not produced. Oddly enough this is the only unproduced design for a <i>circulating</i> Hungarian coin during the Soviet era, making it extremely sought out. This is a very rare piece which is now the crown jewel of my nearly complete set of Soviet period patterns for circulating issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1640891[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1640890[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
