Hungary. 40,000 Forint 2026. 350th Anniversary of the Birth of Francis II Rákóczi. Silver Proof

He was born in 1676 into one of Hungary’s wealthiest families. Rákóczi launched a war for independence against the Habsburg monarchy in 1703 and in 1705 was elected as ruling prince by the National Diet and became the leader of the struggle. Defeated in 1708 he chose exile rather than vow allegiance to the Austrian emperor. His ashes were returned to Hungary in 1906. His name is honored in Hungary with streets, squares and schools, and the famous Rákóczi March, acknowledging him as one of the most important symbols of the Hungarian nation.
