| Reverse description | The reverse bears a finely detailed high-relief scene inspired by János Arany's celebrated 19th-century Hungarian epic poem 'Toldi', depicting the heroic figure of Miklós Toldi in a dramatic landscape, shown in a low, powerful stance amidst rocky terrain beneath a moonlit sky. The composition captures the narrative tension of the poem with expressive, sculptural modelling of the protagonist and his natural surroundings. The inscription 'ARANY JÁNOS: TOLDI' is placed along the upper portion of the field, serving as a direct literary attribution. The reverse is the work of engraver Gábor Gáti, whose artistic treatment reflects the Romantic literary tradition the coin commemorates. |
