Collector insights
- Design heritage: Zoltán Endrődy is credited as the designer for the Non-circulating coins series. Designer attribution helps distinguish this issue from later restrikes or unofficial copies that reuse only the motif.
- Struck at: Hungarian mint, Budapest, Hungary (mintmark
BP.). Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels. - Low mintage: Only 5,000 pieces reported. This puts the issue into key-date territory for its series; expect steep grade-based price scaling and a higher counterfeit risk — provenance and third-party grading matter.
- Precious metal content: Silver (.925) — bullion value provides a price floor, and many circulated examples were melted during the 1979–1980 and post-2010 silver spikes, reducing the surviving population.
