| Obverse description | Central field depicts a lively figural scene in high relief showing a group of young children at various stages of engagement: two infants seated on the ground with wooden building blocks at lower left, two standing boys gazing upward at a butterfly perched atop a flower stem held by a standing girl, and to the right a tall adult figure bending forward attentively toward the children. The legend MAGYARORSZÁG arcs along the upper rim, with the denomination 20000 FORINT inscribed in two lines to the left field. The date 2025 and the Budapest Mint mark BP. appear in the lower central exergue. |

| Additional information |
Teréz Brunszvik (1775–1861) founded the first kindergarten in Hungary in 1828, predating Friedrich Fröbel's widely credited German model by nearly a decade — a priority dispute that Hungarian historians have pressed for two centuries with only partial international acknowledgment. She was a close friend of Beethoven, who dedicated his two piano sonatas Op. 78 to her, though whether their relationship extended beyond friendship remains genuinely contested among biographers. The Magyar Nemzeti Bank has issued this coin in 2025, the year marking the 250th anniversary of her birth.
