The packaging also include silver-plated medal. The two sides of the silver-plated medal bear motifs recalling two iconic productions, A táncz, and one of Hungary’s classics, Körhinta (Merry-Go-Round). “A táncz”-(The Dance) was produced by Béla Zsitkovszky to illustrate Gyula Pekár’s instructional lectures at the Uránia Scientific Theatre. This motion picture, which has unfortunately been lost, presented dances performed by some of the great performers of the time, such as Lujza Blaha, Sári Fedák, Gyula Hegedűs, Irén Varsányi and Ákos Ráthonyi.
