[QUOTE="Silverfinger©, post: 4580682, member: 112311"]Managed to get hold of probably my most favourite coin design of any coin in the era I am collecting and my first Hungarian coin, a 1938 dated, 2 Pengo made from .640 silver. I love the angels flying carrying the Hungarian crown onto its shield and the Mary and Jesus on the other side. This coin was made from 1929 to 1939, some years in between it wasn't produced and other years extremely low production, 1938 was the most common year of production with 6,417,000 minted, I hardly see any of these for sale and when I do most are well circulated, I have read that they were melted down to help fund the war effort in buying weapons from the axis and also that the soviets confiscated them but I don't know if either or neither is true, [USER=46237]@Jaelus[/USER] do you know the reason at all (plus I want to show you my first Hungarian coin).
