<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2713026, member: 46237&quot;]I had an eBay discount for hitting a rating of 750 and some leftover eBay bucks, so I used them to pick up a nice Hungarian pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hungary 2 Forint 1950BP Pattern KM-548p</b></p><p><b>Copper-Nickel</b></p><p>5g, 25mm x 1.4mm</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613071[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a pattern of the first 2 Forint issue under the Hungarian People&#039;s Republic (1949-1989) during which Hungary was a satellite state of the Soviet Union. Mint records indicate that 2,000 examples were struck of this pattern. The succeeding business strike (KM-548) differed from this pattern only slightly in both composition and design.</p><p><br /></p><p>The emblem on the obverse is the early soviet coat of arms of Hungary, which was in use from late 1949 until the Revolution of 1956.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613077[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
