Green

Gorgeous note to behold. Front depicts Madonna and child (Patrona Hungariae) to left, head of girl to right. Back of note depicts Statue of medieval king on horseback. Moderate normal circulation has not dampened the wonderful color and eye appeal of this very fine grade note. Tony ink stain obverse could be printing stain, but doesn’t distract.
