| Obverse description | A dynamic high-relief depiction of a female gymnast or diver in a tightly tucked pose dominates the right portion of the field, rendered in a modern sculptural style. To the left, the country name MAGYARORSZÁG curves along the upper rim.

The denomination 2000 FORINT is inscribed in large characters across the lower-center field, with the date 2016 and mint mark BP. positioned in the exergue. |

| Additional information |
Hungary has a legitimate claim to outsized Olympic pride: the country ranks among the highest in gold medals per capita in Games history, a record built largely through fencing, water polo, and wrestling dominance across the twentieth century. This 2016 issue commemorates the Rio Games, where Hungary took 15 medals total — its strongest performance in decades.
Copper-nickel commemoratives of this type were struck for general circulation and gifted distribution rather than collector sales alone, meaning circulated survivors are genuinely common and uncirculated examples require no premium justification.
