Description
The Hungarian Pediatric Association is one of Hungary’s most important pediatric organisations, the formation of which was prepared by a committee of doctors (Ármin Flesch, Pál Heim and Ferenc Torday), under the presidency of János Bókay. Since its inaugural meeting on 14 December 1924, the Association has worked to promote the health and well-being of children. Over the past 100 years, the Association has contributed to maintaining the health of some 15 million children, and while there has been great progress in pediatric science, the principles upon which the Association is based – medical treatment based on scientific knowledge, the protection of children’s health, supporting families and providing a professional forum for pediatricians – remain unchanged.
Front:The front of the coin “Hungarian Pediatric Association” features a composition that highlights the Association’s medical work, showing a stethoscope resting on two medical reference books. In addition to the thematic motif, the mandatory elements are also found on the front: the issuer “MAGYARORSZÁG” (Hungary) in a circular legend at the top, the value and denomination “3000” and “FORINT” in two lines below this, and the issue date “2024” and mint mark “BP.” in two lines below the central motif. The mark of the coin’s designer, Andrea Horváth, is integrated into the spine of one of the books.
Back:The central motif on the back of the coin “Hungarian Pediatric Association” is an image of a doctor examining an infant, which also references the Association’s official emblem that is shown alongside the image. The top semi-circular legend is the full name of the Association, while the coin’s message, the Association’s motto and the anniversary being honoured are presented in the bottom semi-circular legend “100 ÉVE A GYERMEKEK GYÓGYÍTÁSÁÉRT” (100 years of healing children). The semi-circular legends are linked on both sides with a heart motif.
