| Obverse description | The hexagonal obverse features a central circular field enclosed by a beaded border and an outer ring of elaborate acanthus-scroll ornamentation echoing traditional Hungarian folk motifs. At the centre of the inner field stands the Hungarian double cross (apostolic cross) rendered in high relief, surrounded by richly detailed foliate and floral scrollwork in a symmetrical composition. The legend MAGYARORSZÁG arcs along the upper periphery of the beaded border, while the denomination 3000 FORINT appears along the lower arc. The date 2022 is inscribed to the left of the central design and the Budapest Mint mark BP to the right, both within the decorative outer border. |

| Additional information |
St. Stephen's Hall — the ceremonial hall of the Hungarian Parliament Building — was completed in 1902 as part of Imre Steindl's vast neo-Gothic complex on the Danube embankment, a project that consumed nearly two decades of construction and outlived its architect, who died blind before the building opened. The hall takes its name from Hungary's first king, canonized in 1083, whose crown remains the central symbol of Hungarian constitutional continuity to this day.
The Magyar Nemzeti Bank has issued this denomination in Nordic gold repeatedly for architectural and heritage subjects. At 20g and 37mm, the format is well-established for the series.
Wait — I must self-correct. I restated weight and diameter. Let me rewrite.St. Stephen's Hall occupies the ceremonial heart of the Hungarian Parliament Building, completed in 1902 to designs by Imre Steindl, who went blind during construction and died the same year the building opened. The project ran from 1885 and was, at the time of completion, one of the largest parliament buildings in the world by floor area.
The Magyar Nemzeti Bank has issued collector forint pieces in Nordic gold across a sustained architectural heritage series, with this Adamo EM461 entry among the more recent additions to that run.
