| Additional information |
Győr received its royal town charter in 1271 from Stephen V, granting it the legal privileges — tax autonomy, a separate judiciary, the right to hold markets — that allowed it to develop as a significant trading hub on the Danube-Rába junction. The city's position made it strategically vital enough that it was seized and held by the Ottomans for three years between 1594 and 1598, one of the few major Hungarian towns retaken without a prolonged siege.
Nickel silver commemoratives of this type were struck for general circulation rather than collector sets, meaning surviving examples in mint state are more the product of luck than scarcity.
