Hungary 20000 forint Anthem Himnusz Music Composer PR 69 PCGS silver coin 2019

The Hungary 20000 Forint silver proof coin issued in 2019 commemorates the Hungarian national anthem “Himnusz” and honors two legendary figures of Hungarian culture — poet Ferenc Kölcsey and composer Ferenc Erkel. Certified PR69 by PCGS, this beautifully crafted commemorative combines literature, music, and national identity in an elegant artistic composition. One side features a detailed portrait of Ferenc Erkel dressed in traditional Hungarian attire, accompanied by engraved handwritten musical notation and lyrics from the anthem. His signature appears beside the finely engraved score, while the mirrored proof background highlights the delicate relief details of his embroidered clothing, bow tie, and facial features.

The opposite side depicts poet Ferenc Kölcsey standing beside a chair with a flowing handwritten excerpt of the anthem surrounding him. The design includes the denomination, date 2019, and national inscription “Magyarország.” Kölcsey’s formal attire, decorative braided jacket, and thoughtful expression symbolize the intellectual and patriotic spirit behind the Hungarian anthem. The highly polished proof surfaces contrast beautifully with the frosted portraits and script elements, creating exceptional visual depth and elegance.

The “Himnusz,” written by Ferenc Kölcsey in 1823 and later set to music by Ferenc Erkel in 1844, became one of the most important symbols of Hungarian national identity and cultural heritage. Struck in silver in outstanding PR69 condition by PCGS, this commemorative issue is highly desirable for collectors of music-themed coins, literature memorabilia, national anthems, and Hungarian cultural history. A sophisticated and historically meaningful addition to any world coin collection.
