The Castle of Szigetvár
The newest issue in the “Hungarian Castles” series salutes the Szigetvár Castle on the  450th anniversary of the Szigetvár siege.

The obverse represents the half figure of Miklós Zrínyi, defender of the castle, in armor, wearing a hat, a sword in the right hand and a mace in the left. The upper circle legend of the reverse reads SZIGETVÁR CASTLE in Hungarian (SZIGETVÁRI VÁR) while the main motif represents the current southern view of the castle. There is a quote in the foreground from the epic Peril of Sziget of the great-grandson Miklós Zrínyi (1620-1664), poet and military leader, inspiring soldiers to break out, struck with small font size letters.
