Reverse description
On the back is a portrait of Ágnes Nemes Nagy with a bookshelf full of books in the background, and the portrait of Mihály Babits in front of the volumes. Her name, NEMES NAGY ÁGNES, is inscribed in the upper left-hand part, with the inscriptions 1922 and 1991, indicating the years of birth and death, slightly offset from each other, in two lines below. The designer of the commemorative coin, the sculptor Balázs Pelcz, has hidden his master`s mark in the depiction of the poet, literary translator and essayist`s clothing.
