| Additional information |
Hungary's 200 forint denomination was introduced in 1998 partly to ease pressure on the 100 forint coin, which had become Hungary's primary workhorse coin following the redenomination that eliminated the krajcár-era subunits in the 1990s. By 2009 the type had settled into this bimetallic format, though the denomination itself was quietly controversial — the Hungarian public consistently confused it with the 100 forint coin in circulation, a complaint that followed the series for years. The forint itself had survived a turbulent decade, with Hungary narrowly avoiding IMF-administered austerity after the 2008 financial crisis forced emergency borrowing of 20 billion euros.
