| Obverse description | Against a deeply mirrored proof field, a three-quarter bust of the Hungarian poet Ferenc Kölcsey is depicted to the right, rendered in high relief and dressed in a traditional Hungarian hussar-style uniform with ornate braided frogging. To the left of the figure, excerpts from Kölcsey's original handwritten manuscript of the Himnusz are reproduced in a flowing cursive script across the field, conveying an atmosphere of literary heritage. The curved legend MAGYARORSZÁG arcs along the upper rim, flanked by the date 2019 to the upper center and the denomination 20000 Ft to the upper right. The Budapest Mint mark BP. appears in the lower right field. At the bottom of the manuscript text, the poet's signature KÖLCSEY FERENCZ is inscribed in script. |
