Anyone read Hungarian?

My best friend is Hungarian. I'll run it by him, if nobody else beats me to it.

Ok, he said it is a very old note and difficult to translate but essentially means:

This banknote in every state and private cashiers worth 1 silver forint, or three 20s (dunno what was that, probably the change currency) and it holds its full value.

He added: I assume this is one of the Kossuth notes, C series. It was money issued by Lajos Kossuth, during our freedom fight against the Habsburg Empire in 1848-1849.

Cheers!

Hey, watch it, Tom. My grandmother was Hungarian.

A series of these notes was printed and issued in English in 1852 for the same purpose. The $50 and $100 are hand signed by Kossuth. $5 and $10 exist, too, with two varieties, with and without the grey denomination.
