Hungary 3,000 Forint 2019. The Himnusz, Hungary’s national anthem. Copper-nickel BU

75th anniversary of composing the music to the Himnusz, Hungary’s national anthem, on its largest coin

The national anthem of Hungary was adopted in the 19th century and the first stanza is sung at official ceremonies. The words were written by Ferenc Kölcsey, a nationally renowned poet, in 1823, and shown on the obverse. The official music was composed by the romantic composer Ferenc Erkel (on the reverse) in 1844, although other less-known musical versions exist. The poem bore the subtitle "A magyar nép zivataros századaiból" ("From the stormy centuries of the Hungarian nation"); it is often argued that this subtitle – by emphasizing past rather than contemporary national troubles – was added to let the poem to pass Habsburg censorship. The full meaning of the poem's text is evident only to those well acquainted with Hungarian history.
