| Reverse description | Central field depicts a high-relief scene of three Hungarian infantrymen in a rocky trench or fortified position, rendered in finely detailed frosted relief against a mirror-polished background. The foreground soldier is shown kneeling and adjusting equipment, a second soldier operates a machine gun from an elevated position, and a third stands to the right bearing a rifle, all wearing characteristic steel helmets of the period. The designer's initials BB appear discreetly in the field to the right of the central group. The arc legend 100 ÉVE ÉRT VÉGET AZ ELSŐ VILÁGHÁBORÚ (The First World War Ended 100 Years Ago) runs along the upper and left rim, and the commemorative date span 1918–2018 is prominently inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Hungary entered World War I as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and exited it as a shattered, newly independent state stripped of roughly two-thirds of its prewar territory under the Treaty of Trianon in 1920. The war's end was not, for Hungary, a liberation — it triggered a cascade of political collapse, a short-lived Soviet republic under Béla Kun, and Romanian military occupation of Budapest itself.
That weight of loss distinguishes Hungarian commemorations of this centenary from those issued by the Allied powers.
