Where & when
What's on the note
Front: Charles I of Hungary (Károly Róbert, 1288–1342), King of Hungary and Croatia from 1308 to 1342, first monarch of the Angevin dynasty in Hungary. He restored royal power after decades of feudal anarchy, stabilized the economy through monetary reforms including the introduction of the gold forint, and made Hungary one of the largest gold producers in Europe during his reign. He is honoured on this note for his crucial role in establishing Hungary's medieval prosperity and political stability.
Back: Diósgyőr Castle (Diósgyőri vár) in Miskolc, a medieval fortress built in the 13th century and significantly expanded under the Angevin kings in the 14th century. The castle served as a royal residence and was a favored hunting lodge of the Hungarian queens. The inscription 'DIÓSGYŐRI VÁR' identifies the site. The castle represents the architectural and cultural legacy of the Angevin period in Hungarian history.

Background & history
This 200 forint note belongs to the post-transition series issued by Magyar Nemzeti Bank following Hungary's democratic transformation. The 1997–2008 series replaced earlier designs with enhanced security features and updated imagery celebrating Hungarian historical figures and landmarks. The 200 forint denomination featuring Károly Róbert was issued from 1998 and remained in circulation until the denomination was replaced by coins in the late 2000s. The note emphasizes Hungary's medieval golden age under Angevin rule.
