Sándor Petőfi (1823-1849) was a Hungarian poet, revolutionary, a national hero, one of the most iconic figures of Hungarian literature and culture. His poems were translated into the most languages in Hungarian poetry. In his short life, the internationally renowned poet wrote nearly a thousand poems, and was one of the first literary figures who managed to make a living from his writings. He started the concept of the literary icon. As an embodiment of Hungarian Romanticism, he introduced new themes into Hungarian poetry, such as the family poetry, the depiction of the Puszta (Hungarian grasslands) and the idea of a free world. His exceptional popularity was also due to the fact that he used plain language in his works, and incorporated the language of the people into literature. He was one of the leading figures of the ‘Young people of March’, a dominant figure in the 1848-1849 Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence.

To mark the bicentenary of Sándor Petőfi’s birth, the MNB is issuing a 200-forint commemorative circulation coin.

The thematic side of the coin was designed by applied artist András Szilos. The technical parameters of the coin are identical to the 200-forint bimetal coins in circulation: the outer ring of the coin is made of an alloy of copper (75%), nickel (4%) and zinc (21%), while the inner core is made of copper (75%) and nickel (25%). The outer diameter of the coin is 28.3 mm, with a diameter of 17.9 mm at the junction of the inner and outer sections. The rim is 2 mm thick and the coin weighs 9 grams and its edge is reeded with smooth sections.
