50 000 Forint Saint Margaret of Hungary

Margaret of Hungary — daughter of King Béla IV — was canonized in 1943, nearly seven centuries after her death in 1270 on Margaret Island in Budapest, the very place she had entered the Dominican convent as a child. The delay was extraordinary even by Vatican standards; her beatification had come in 1789, but full canonization stalled repeatedly over doctrinal procedural disputes stretching across multiple pontificates.

The Magyar Nemzeti Bank has issued gold forints in this weight class as collector pieces since the 1990s, with mintages typically held below a few hundred pieces.
