The Hungarian 200 Forint bill
This banknote is special for many reasons:
First and most, because it is my homeland's currency.
The 200 Forint banknote is the smallest denomination in Hungary, and not for long, as they announced that they will very soon replace it with a 200 Forint coin.
What also make it special as prior this note, we didn't have in the older set 200 Forint, only in the latest series was featured such.
The Banknote itself I think look fine. In the front it feature a famous medieval king's portrait, King Karoly Robert ( Charles Robert), who was the first ruler from the Anjou dynasty.
On the back, one of his favorite castle, or actually the picture of its ruins can be seen.
The name of the castle Diosgyor, it is a smaller town in North-East Hungary, and apart from it's castle, it is also famous from it's chocolate factory. Would you wonder, I love chocolate, and had lots of those from my childhood made in Diosgyor. I can really say sweet memories about this place!
