Hungarian Dogs in Collector Coin Series

The National Bank of Hungary (MNB) is issuing a non-ferrous metal collector coin with a face value of 3,000 forints named ‘Kuvasz’ on October 4, 2025, on World Animal Day. It is the sixth in the series of Hungarian shepherd and hunting dog breeds launched in 2019.

In 2004, all autochthonous dog breeds, including the kuvasz, were declared national treasures by the Parliament. In 2017, it was added to the Hungaricum Collection.

The previous elements of this series included ‘Magyar vizsla’ (Hungarian vizsla), ‘Komondor’, ‘Magyar agár’ (‘Hungarian gazehound’), ‘Mudi’, ’Erdélyi kopó’ (‘Transylvanian hound’).

The non-ferrous collector coin with a face value of 3,000 forints was designed by goldsmith artist Zoltán Tóth. The primary role of the collector coins is to transfer value and raise awareness. They are not to be used in everyday payments.
