<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2841543, member: 46237&quot;]Artex, the Hungarian Export Company, produced special proof sets in conjunction with the Hungarian Mint in 1966 and 1967. About 5,000 proof sets were issued during each of those two years. These were Hungary&#039;s first proof sets issued for the collector market.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been waiting for the right example to pick up for myself for some time. This one still has the original cardboard sleeve and packaging inside the case to hold the coins in place, and condition-wise it looks like it hasn&#039;t been touched since it was issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>These sets are especially beautiful, with proof examples of the normal aluminum business strikes struck instead in copper-nickel (for the fillérs) and in silver (for the forints), along with a special 5 forint commemorative type that is unique to these sets.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hungary 1967 Special Issue Proof Set (1966-1967):</b></p><p>2 Fillér KM-546a Copper-Nickel 2.05g 18mm</p><p>5 Fillér KM-549a Copper-Nickel 1.9g 17mm</p><p>10 Fillér KM-547a Copper-Nickel 2.7g 19mm</p><p>20 Fillér KM-550a Copper-Nickel 3.95g 21mm</p><p>50 Fillér KM-551a Copper-Nickel 4.2g 22mm</p><p>1 Forint KM-555a 0.835 Silver 5.85g 22.8mm</p><p>2 Forint KM-556b 0.835 Silver 6.12g 25mm</p><p>5 Forint KM-534b 0.835 Silver 13g 27.5mm (Kossuth Lajos Commemorative)</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the outer case, with the post-1956 revolution Hungarian emblem.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]672399[/ATTACH]</p><p>The case and outer sleeve:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]672400[/ATTACH]</p><p>Obverses for the set (the top row of 3 coins are silver, the rest are copper-nickel):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]672401[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverses for the set:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]672402[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
