<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 4352793, member: 46237&quot;]A couple Hungarian patterns I picked up over the last couple weeks:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hungary 1990BP 100 Forint (András Fáy) Pattern</b></p><p>Nickel-Brass Adamo EME29</p><p>Próbaveret Obverse</p><p>Népköztársaság Reverse</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of the transitional patterns made in 1989 (though it is dated 1990). The name of Hungary changed from Magyar Népköztársaság (The Hungarian People&#039;s Republic) to Magyar Köztársaság (The Republic of Hungary) at the end of the Soviet era in the last couple months of 1989. This commemorative coin was released in 1990 with the new name for Hungary on the reverse - there were new revised patterns made with the country name change. Patterns of this earlier unreleased version are harder to find.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1101466[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hungary 1992BP SZ 10 Forint Pattern</b></p><p>Copper Adamo FT6</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1992, a new set of coinage was released for Magyar Köztársaság (The Republic of Hungary). Several artists submitted designs to the mint for selection. This particular type was considered, but not selected, for the final version of the 10 forint issued in 1992.</p><p><br /></p><p>This example was struck in copper at the Szeged Mint (mint mark SZ on the edge). Total mintage of this pattern is unknown, but it is of considerable rarity. The other denominations from this set were not struck, to my knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1101465[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
