Comments
(en)
Uncirculated 2 Forint coins from 1946 and 1947 are relatively common, though nearly all 1946 uncirculated pieces are known to be Artex restrikes. It is suspected that uncirculated 1947 coins might also be restrikes, but this remains unconfirmed. As of now, there are no official records or conclusive visual evidence to prove that the 1947 issue was part of the Artex restrike program.
