King Szent István, Saint Stephen,
1000-1038. Silver coin/medal in capsule. Christian Kings of Hungary series.
The founder of the Hungarian state.
Canonization: 1083.
King Stephen has always been considered one of the most important statesmen in the history of Hungary.
His main achievement was the establishment of a Christian state that ensured that the Hungarians survived in the Carpathian Basin, in contrast to the
Huns, Avars
and other peoples who had previously controlled the same territory.
As Sir Bryan Cartledge (former British Ambassador) emphasizes, Stephen also gave his kingdom "forty years of relative peace and sound but unspectacular rule".
The observe shows the picture of the King, the reverse shows two angels holding the Holy Crown over the Hungarian Coat of Arms.
