| Additional information |
Miklós Ybl (1814–1891) was the dominant figure in Hungarian historicist architecture, responsible for the Hungarian State Opera House and the radical expansion of the Royal Palace in Budapest — work so tied to the Austro-Hungarian cultural program that his commissions came largely through imperial patronage. This coin was issued to mark the bicentenary of his birth.
The .925 silver series from Magyar Nemzeti Bank has long favored architects and composers for its commemorative program, a pattern running back decades in Hungarian numismatic policy.
