<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 26492230, member: 28550&quot;]I know this thread has been quiet for some time, but I&#039;m wondering if responding will alert a Hungarian specialist who can help me understand a piece I recently acquired: </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1688918[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1688919[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I picked up a Hungarian 1921 dated 20 Filler, which NGC labeled as a restrike, in PF66 condition. It&#039;s a lovely example of the series, but I can&#039;t understand why Hungary would have reissued this Alpakka (nickel-silver) coin. In the early 1920s, I see that Austria and Hungary both reissued a lot of gold coins dated 1908 and 1915 in an attempt to stabilize their economy after WW1 (selling them to collectors at a premium). But this doesn&#039;t seem related to this particular restrike. </p><p><br /></p><p>While digging, I found that the 1946-1950 dated 20 Fillers were reissued in the 1960s by the state owned minting company ARTEX: </p><p><a href="https://en.numista.com/7215" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/7215" rel="nofollow">https://en.numista.com/7215</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps my new acquisition was issued around then? Or maybe even later? But I haven&#039;t found a reasonable explanation yet and would like to gain some context.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
