The Hungarian Forint is the official currency of Hungary, issued by the Magyar Nemzeti Bank (Hungarian National Bank).
The modern series features updated designs showcasing Hungary’s national heroes, cultural heritage, and iconic architectural landmarks.
Each denomination includes a portrait of a significant historical figure on the front, while the reverse highlights important monuments, castles, and scenes tied to Hungary’s rich history.
These notes incorporate enhanced security features — including holographic elements, watermarks, raised printing, and colour‑shifting inks — introduced as part of the Forint Banknote Upgrade Programme.
The refreshed colour schemes and improved durability reflect Hungary’s commitment to secure, modern banknote production.
The current HUF series is the primary legal tender used throughout Hungary and is widely recognised across Central Europe.

Hungary has issued several earlier series of Forint banknotes since the currency’s introduction in 1946.
Older notes include designs with earlier portraits, different colour palettes, and security features that predate the modern upgrade programme.
While these notes have been replaced by the current series, many older issues still retain redeemable value.
