| Additional information |
Károli Gáspár completed the first complete Hungarian-language Bible translation in 1590, printed at Vizsoly — a village in northeastern Hungary — making it one of the earliest vernacular scriptures in Central Europe and a foundational document of Hungarian Protestant identity. The university bearing his name in Budapest traces its institutional roots to Reformed Church academies operating since the 17th century, though its modern university charter came only in 1993.
This commemorative was issued to mark the institution's presence within a post-communist higher education system that had substantially reorganized church-affiliated colleges following the political transition after 1989.
