2000 Forint Geological Institute

The Hungarian Geological Institute (Magyar Állami Földtani Intézet) was founded in 1869 and spent over a century as one of Central Europe's leading earth science bodies before being dissolved by the Orbán government in 2012, its functions absorbed into the Mining and Geological Survey of Hungary. This coin commemorates the institution's sesquicentennial — marking 150 years from its founding — at a point when the original institute no longer formally existed.
