| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved bust of András Fáy facing slightly to the left, rendered in a realistic portrait style typical of Hungarian commemorative coinage of the period. The subject is depicted in period-appropriate attire with a high collar, conveying the gravitas of a nineteenth-century statesman and writer. A cursive facsimile signature reading 'Fáy András' occupies the upper left field. The dates '1786-1864' appear to the right of the portrait, denoting the subject's birth and death years. The mint engraver's initial 'R' is discreetly placed near the rim. |
