In 1896, the Hungarians commemorated the thousandth anniversary of the arrival of hungarian tribes to the Carpathian (Pannonian) basin. To this millenium belongs (besides monumental celebrations of the Hungarian nation) a group of some exceptional and very heterogeneous commemoration medals. These strikes immitate some notable historical strikes (e.g. Denar of St. Stephen, Andrew II., Groschen or Goldgulden of Charles Robert or Thaler of St. George or Ferdinand I., occurring as a golden 9 Ducat struck as well).
