| Obverse description | The arms of the Republic of Hungary occupy the central field, depicting the traditional quartered shield with horizontal stripes on the dexter side and the apostolic double cross rising from a green mount on the sinister side, surmounted by the Hungarian Holy Crown of Saint Stephen with its characteristic tilted cross. The date 1991 is divided on either side of the shield, with the mint mark 'B P.' positioned below. A continuous dotted inner border frames the design. The circular legend reads '100 FORINT' at upper left and 'MAGYAR KÖZTÁRSASÁG' around the remainder of the periphery. |
