| Obverse description | Central view of the neoclassical façade of the Hungarian National Bank building in Budapest, designed by architect Ignác Alpár and completed in 1905. The architectural rendering depicts the ornate street-level elevation with columns, arched windows, and decorative sculptural details characteristic of the historicist style. The legend arcs around the upper and lower fields, with the denomination and mint mark appearing in the lower portion. The dual date 1905–2005 commemorates the centenary of the building's construction. |
