Description

Miklós Ybl (1814-1889) was one of Europe’s leading architects in the mid to late nineteenth century as well as Hungary’s most influential architect during his career. His most well-known work is the Hungarian State Opera House in Budapest. His first main work was the church in Fót, built between 1845 and 1855. His early, large projects were built in Romantic style, influenced by eastern motifs. Although Romanesque shapes also occur in his later buildings, after his second study tour to Italy from 1860 he became interested in the possibility of the revitalisation of the Italian Renaissance style, and designed several neo-Renaissance buildings. Many of his buildings became determinant elements of the cityscape of Budapest.
The annual architectural prize founded in 1953 was named after him in his honor.

Front: The edge of the obverse features the upper circular legend “MAGYARORSZÁG” (Hungary) within a bead edging and the inscription ’2 000 FORINT’ in a lower circular legend. The mint mark ‘BP.’ and the mint year ‘2014’ are positioned at the centre of the left edge and the centre of the right edge, respectively. A representation of the representation of the Roman Catholic Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception at Fót is depicted in the centre.
Back:The reverse of the coin features the upper circular legend ‘YBL MIKLÓS’ within a bead edging on the edge and the inscription ‘1814-1891’. The centre of the reverse depicts a head-and-shoulders portrait of Miklós Ybl. The signature of architect is positioned to the left of the portrait. The initials of designer Ildikó Erőss are positioned to the right of the portrait.
