Description

From the end of the 13th century, there were notaries appointed under papal or imperial authority in Hungary, who were only entitled to perform their work in ecclesiastical matters. The modern notarial profession came into existence in 1874, when, as part of the justice system reform following the Compromise, Hungary’s National Assembly adopted Act XXXV of 1874 on Civil Law Notaries. Since then, in keeping with their motto of ‘law without dispute’, notaries have served the public by helping resolve legal issues without resorting to litigation. In 1949, the notarial professional was nationalised and integrated into state legal services, but following the change of regime it regained its independence and was organised on a chamber basis. Notaries are now important agents in business and society in Hungary, as they attend to attestation (fides publica) and provide impartial, non-litigious legal services (justitia). The coin highlights the main symbol of notaries and also pays tribute to Bálint Ökröss, who was responsible for drafting the 1874 law on the notarial profession. Ökröss (1829-1889) was an outstanding figure in the history of Hungarian notaries, a corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and first president of the Budapest Chamber of Notaries. His name is also linked to the foundation of the Legal Gazette in 1866, a journal which continues to be published to this very day.

Front:The central motif on the front is the notarial symbol in a wax seal, inspired by the notary’s seal that symbolises the act of attestation and certification. The semi-circular legend above reads “150 ÉVES A MAGYAR POLGÁRI KÖZJEGYZŐSÉG” (150 years of the Hungarian civil notarial profession).
The front has the mandatory elements, such as the legend “MAGYARORSZÁG”, the mint mark “BP.”, the date “2024” and the denomination “3000” and “FORINT”. “
Back:The back of the coin bears a portrait of Bálint Ökröss based on a photograph, with his signature. The semi-circular legend at the top reads “A KIRÁLYI KÖZJEGYZŐKRŐL SZÓLÓ 1874. ÉVI XXXV. TC. ELŐ̋KÉSZÍTŐJE” (Drafter of Act XXXV of 1874 on Civil Law Notaries). The master mark of the designer, sculptor Balázs Pelcz, is found to the left of the portrait.
