Budapest hosted the 17th FINA World Aquatics Championships in 2017, the first time the event had been held in Hungary. The Hungarian Olympic Centre's Duna Aréna, purpose-built for the occasion at a cost of roughly 90 million euros, was controversially fast-tracked through planning approvals. Hungary has historically punched well above its weight in aquatic sports — the country has won more Olympic water polo gold medals than any other nation.
The Adamo reference places this among a documented series of Hungarian commemorative circulation issues, struck in copper-nickel rather than the collector precious-metal versions issued concurrently.
