3000 Forint Jókai Mór Birth Anniversary

Mór Jókai, born in 1825 in Révkomárom, became the most widely translated Hungarian author of the nineteenth century — his novels appeared in dozens of languages while he was still alive, a genuinely unusual commercial fact for Central European literature of that period. He was also a member of parliament for over two decades, and his political associations shifted conspicuously enough over time that his later career attracted as much controversy as admiration.

The 2025 issue marks the bicentennial of his birth.
