| Additional information |
Hungary issued this coin three years before the Albertville Games opened — an unusually long lead time even by commemorative standards, reflecting the Hungarian Mint's aggressive push into the collector export market during the late 1980s as the communist government sought hard currency ahead of the political transition that would dissolve the People's Republic in 1989.
