| Additional information |
Hungary's participation in the London Games carried particular weight in shooting and fencing, sports in which Hungarian athletes had accumulated more Olympic gold medals per capita than almost any other nation across the twentieth century. This coin was issued as part of a broader Magyar Nemzeti Bank commemorative program tied to London 2012, one of several denominations and metals struck for the series. At 0.5 grams of .999 gold, the piece is among the smallest gold issues in modern Hungarian numismatics — a format driven entirely by collector accessibility and bullion economics rather than any circulation intent.
