| Reverse description | The reverse bears a full-length figure of a Hungarian hussar in traditional 18th-century uniform, standing in three-quarter view facing left, raising a bugle to his lips with his right hand while resting his left hand on a sabre at his side. A fur-trimmed dolman jacket and feathered shako complete the martial attire. The denomination '1 PENGŐ' appears in the left field, with the fineness mark '.999' and engraver's signature 'BERÁN L.' inscribed in the lower right field. The mint mark 'BP.' is positioned at the bottom centre within a plain border. |

| Additional information |
Berán Lajos (1882–1943) was among the most prolific Hungarian medallists of the interwar period, responsible for a substantial portion of the official coinage designs issued under the Kingdom of Hungary during the Horthy era. The Magyar Pénzverő began issuing this series of mint tokens to honor engravers whose dies had passed through the Budapest facility — a form of institutional self-documentation as much as commemoration.
The Adamo FZ3 reference places this squarely within a collector-targeted series with controlled mintage, not a circulating issue.
