| Reverse description | A bold, deeply modelled bust of the composer Ferenc Liszt in right-facing profile dominates the field, rendered in a sculptural, expressionistic style by engraver Miklós Borsos. The subject is depicted in later life, with characteristic long flowing hair swept back from a strong-featured face. The arc legend 'LISZT FERENC EMLÉKÉV' curves along the upper periphery, while the commemorative dates '1811 - 1961' are inscribed in the lower field, flanking the truncation of the portrait. |
