| Comments |
The EURion constellation — those small rings embedded in the design to defeat photocopier reproduction — was added to Hungarian banknotes in stages rather than all at once, which is why this 2008–2012 window exists as a distinct catalog variety from the earlier P#191 issue. The Magyar Pénzjegynyomda has printed the 10,000 Forint series continuously since the denomination's introduction in 1997, refining security features with each iteration rather than redesigning the note entirely.
Engraver György Lengyel's work on the reverse is worth noting — intaglio engraving remained a specialty of the Budapest facility long after many European printers had shifted to predominantly offset production.
