[RG-089]* 1970-BP Hungary 50 Forint Strobl Monument MS68 { PCGS-5 }. The Liberation Monument in Budapest was designed and built by Strobyl to commemorate the 25th anniversary for liberation from the Nazis. The original design was for a woman holding a baby; but Soviet 'suggestion' was to swap the baby out for the frond. This 64% silver gem has heavy rainbow toning on both sides. This commemorative mintage was 20,000 for circulation strikes. Minted in Budapest (BP). This capital city combined its name from two smaller towns on either side of the Danube, Buda and Pest. In this same spirit, this statue provides a unifying message that seems to be lost in our divisive world. This coin was taken from a mint set. * Number 89 in Ron Guth's book "100 Greatest Women in Coins".
