| Additional information |
Budapest's dual listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site — covering the Banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, and Andrássy Avenue — was granted in stages between 1987 and 2002, making it one of the more politically layered designations in Central Europe. The 2009 issue falls within Hungary's long-running commemorative silver program, which has used the 5000 forint denomination extensively for heritage and cultural subjects since the mid-1990s.
Adamo reference EM223 places this squarely within the Hungarian specialist catalog compiled by Adamo Verlag, the standard reference for post-1946 Hungarian issues.
