Description
National Memorial Sites” collector series – 5.
Front: On the obverse, positioned in the centre one of the most emblematic statue groups of the graveyard is shown from a side view, which also inspired the logo of the cemetery: a set of statues on top of the Kossuth Mausoleum – the winged geniuses of Freedom, Strength and Light, holding a burning torch, and a lion free of its chains, as the symbol of the Hungarian nation – is the work of Alajos Stróbl. The compulsory design elements of collector coins are placed here: the value numeral of 2,000 FORINT, the inscription MAGYAROSZÁG, the mint year, 2018, as well as the mintmark ‘BP.’ containing a special security element.
Back: On the reverse, positioned in the centre, the coin features the representation of the Deák Mausoleum and the walkway leading up to it, with tombs in the background. The line of trees along the walkway is a reference to the rich flora of the graveyard. In the depiction of the walkway we see the lettering “FIUMEI ÚTI SÍRKERT” and “NEMZETI EMLÉKHELY”, above the legend is the emblem of national memorial sites, below it the designer artist Márta Csikai’s master mark is shown.
