| Obverse description | At center, a detailed relief depiction of an open book — representing the Hungarian Fundamental Law (Alaptörvény) — rests across the lower portion of the field, its pages rendered with fine line engraving. Above the book, the denomination legend '10000 forint' is inscribed in two lines in a mixed serif and script typeface. The country name 'MAGYARORSZÁG' curves along the upper border, separated from the inner field by a raised rim. A decorative ring of stylized quatrefoil ornaments encircles the design. The mint year '2016' and Budapest mintmark 'BP.' appear in the lower exergue on a mirrored proof field. |

| Additional information |
This piece commemorates the Fundamental Law of Hungary, which came into force on 1 January 2012, replacing the heavily amended 1949 Soviet-era constitution. The transition was contentious — the new document was drafted and passed within a year, drawing sustained criticism from the Venice Commission and the European Parliament over judicial independence provisions and the compressed timeline for public consultation.
Adamo EM311 places it firmly in the Magyar Nemzeti Bank's commemorative silver program, a series notable for relatively modest distribution figures outside the domestic collector market.
