| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic scene from the 1901 Hungarian silent film 'A tánc' (The Dance), showing a pair of dancers in period costume rendered in high relief against a stylized film-strip background. The figures are portrayed mid-movement, conveying the energy and motion of the dance. The legend '100 éves az első magyar film' (100 years of the first Hungarian film) arcs across the upper field, while 'A TÁNC' (The Dance) is inscribed prominently in the lower portion, referencing the celebrated early motion picture by Béla Zsitkovszky. |

| Additional information |
Hungary's film history begins with Itáliai szerelem (1911), typically cited as the first domestically produced Hungarian feature, though the industry's true founding moment is contested — some historians point to earlier actualities and short subjects from as far back as 1896. The centennial this coin marks is less a clean anniversary than a diplomatic rounding toward a usable number.
