| Additional information |
The 10 Francs/4 Forint denomination exists because of the Latin Monetary Union, which Hungary nominally aligned with through Austria-Hungary's participation — despite never formally joining. The dual valuation stamped directly into the coin was a deliberate concession to cross-border commerce, particularly with France and Switzerland, allowing the piece to circulate at par across member-state borders without exchange friction.
Production across this decade was erratic in volume, with certain years seeing only proof or specimen strikes for presentation purposes rather than genuine circulation runs. Collectors should treat mintage figures for individual years within this range with caution.
