The Hungarian Pengo! 1938 “Ringing”

“The Hungarian participle pengő means 'ringing' (which in turn derives from the verb peng, an onomatopoeic word equivalent to English 'ring') and was used from the 15th to the 17th century to refer to silver coins making a ringing sound when struck on a hard surface, thus indicating their precious metal content.”

Super cool.

Thanks to Hunnationalist on TikTok for pointing this out.

Going for a type set? Maybe.

I believe the thickness on this coin threw me off a bit, I was expecting sharper and longer resonance.

Always more to learn/observe.

Combined with the look of the Coin and the weight in hand, it definitely looks, feels, and sounds like Silver.
