| Reverse description | Full-length effigy of Saint Kinga of the Árpád dynasty, depicted in nun's habit and wearing a royal crown, facing three-quarters to the right. She holds a flowering branch in her right hand and a small cross pendant is visible at her chest. To the left of the figure, a stylized column of vertical lines with a ring at its base alludes to the legend of Saint Kinga casting her betrothal ring into the Wieliczka salt mine. Salt-mine rock formations appear in the lower left field. The legend 'ÁRPÁD-HÁZI SZENT KINGA' is inscribed vertically along the left border, 'MAGYARORSZÁG' curves along the upper right, and the dates '1224' and '1292' appear in two lines at the lower right. |

| Additional information |
Kinga of Poland — canonized in 1999 by John Paul II during his seventh visit to his homeland — was a 13th-century princess who became the patroness of both Poland and Hungary through her marriage to Béla IV, and whose cult has been particularly sustained in the Carpathian salt-mining regions she is credited with blessing. The Hungarian state has issued commemoratives in her honor periodically, each tied loosely to anniversaries in her ecclesiastical history.
KM# 1073 is a circulation-quality commemorative, not a proof or collector strike.
