Commemorative gold plated coin of the Hungarian Conquest (Honfoglalas) of the Carpathian Basin minted for the 1100th anniversary in 1996.

Wife of Leader Ügyek, Emese is the mother of Leader Álmos. According to the legend, the turul bird suggested to him a dream in which a river originates from the womb of Emese, which spreads in a foreign land. According to dream interpreters, this meant that she would give birth to a son who would lead his people out of his homeland, Levédia, and his descendants would become glorious kings.

The coin symbolizes the most famous and defining story of the Hungarian folklore. Emese is the mother of Leader Álmos. Árpád, the son of Leader Álmos, is the one who leads the seven Hungarian tribes into the Carpathian basin in AD 896. Where King Szent István, the son of Princ Géza, founded the Hungarian State in 1000!

One side of the coin shows when Emese becomes pregnant by the Turul bird, the sacred animal of the Hungarian folklore, from whom she gives birth to Álmos vezér. The other side of the coin shows the sacrifice of Álmos.

The coin is depicting the totemistic origin story of the Hungarian Árpád family. In a dream of the ancestor of the clan, a bird foretold that glorious rulers would come from her. Because of the dream scene, the unborn child was named Álmos, who becomes the leader of his people. The 14th-century chronicle composition and Anonymus preserved the details of the story in different ways: the former considers Előd and his unnamed daughter Eunodbilia, the latter Ügyek and Emese as Álmos' parents. The historic sources agree that the turul bird appeared to the pregnant woman in her dream. According to Anonymus, the bird "perched on her and made her pregnant", while in the chronicle composition only informs that "a stream flows from her womb and multiplies in a foreign land" - because glorious (holy) kings will be born from her groin.
