Description
The Duna-Dráva National Park was established along the Danube and Dráva rivers, covering an area of some 50.000 hectares. Water played the main role in the formation of its natural landscape. The two rivers and their water resulted in the development of a great variety of habitats, where a colourful ecosystem can be found. Almost the whole of the national park is located in an area, which was formerly a flood-plain.
Front: At the centre of the obverse is the diagonally placed representation of a flying black stork. The value numeral ‘5000’, the inscription ‘FORINT’ and the mint year ‘2011’ are positioned to the right of the stork. Inscribed to the left of the stork are the mint mark ‘BP.’ and the inscription ‘REPUBLIC OF HUNGARY’.
Back:At the centre, the reverse of the coin bears a representation of the high bank, one of the characteristic landscape elements of the Danube-Drava National Park, potted with the holes of sand martins. Above the representation, the inscriptions ‘Danube-Drava’ and ‘National Park’ are written in horizontal lines arranged one above the other, left justified. The centre justified inscription reads ‘high bank’. The designer’s initials are positioned in the lower right corner of the collector coin.
