| Additional information |
György Cziffra fled Hungary after the failed 1956 uprising, eventually settling in France where he built one of the most celebrated piano careers of the twentieth century. This coin marks the centenary of his birth. In 1966 he founded the Franz Liszt Foundation in Versailles, restoring the Chapelle royale de Senlis as a concert venue — a project that consumed much of his later life and finances.
