Obverse description Half-length effigy of the Hungarian poet Ferenc Kölcsey emerging from a divided background, inspired by Anton Einsle's 1835 portrait, rendered in high relief with finely detailed period dress; the poet's surname 'KÖLCSEY' is inscribed discreetly within the folds of his garment. Below the portrait, a period quill pen alludes to Kölcsey's authorship, beneath which the title word 'Hymnus' appears in facsimile script taken from the original manuscript, accompanied by the date '1823' referring to the poem's composition. To the right of the effigy, the vertical legend 'MAGYARORSZÁG' (Hungary) runs along a divided field, above which a rectangular mirror-finish inset panel appears at the top. In the lower third of the field, to the left, the mint year '2023' and mintmark 'BP.' appear in two lines, while to the right the denomination '15000 FORINT' is inscribed in two lines.
