| Additional information |
Albert Szent-Györgyi isolated ascorbic acid at the University of Szeged in 1932, work that earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937. Hungary has long commemorated him on currency — he appeared on the 1,000 forint banknote for years — making this silver issue one of several numismatic tributes across different denominations and decades.
Szent-Györgyi spent his later decades in the United States, having fled Hungary after World War II rather than remain under Soviet-backed rule.
