Hi everyone,
I’ve noticed that in the Numista catalogue, 203 Hungarian coins have "Magyar Pénzverő" (Hungarian Mint) listed as the "Issuing entity," while only 5 coins are attributed to the "Hungarian National Bank (Magyar Nemzeti Bank)".
I believe this is incorrect.
In Hungary, only the Hungarian National Bank has the legal authority to issue currency
e.g., N#34457
The Magyar Pénzverő Zrt. is the company that actually manufactures the Forint coins. Besides legal tender, they also produce medals and tokens e.g., N#94961
What do you think is the best way to handle this?
A) We should never fill in the "Issuing entity" line → delete in 208 cases.
B) The "Issuing entity" for Hungarian Forint coins should always be "Magyar Nemzeti Bank" → modify 203 cases.
C) The "Issuing entity" for Hungarian Forint coins should always be "Magyar Pénzverő" → modify 5 cases.
D) Do nothing.
