Hungarian Forint to Bulgarian Lev

The Hungarian forint (symbol: Ft : codes: HUF and 348) is the official currency of Hungary, introduced on the territory of the newly formed state in the post-war years. The first modern forint dates back to 1946. It is on the list of the convertible currencies of the CLS system.

Forint is divided into one hundred fillers (discontinued). The banknotes depict portraits of monarchs, historical figures, and the images of the related architectural monuments. The encoding uses the international character ƒ. Pengyo was the predecessor of the forint since 1927.

The Bulgarian lev (international symbol: BNG, code: 975) is the national currency of Bulgaria. The lev is divided into 100 stotinki. Since 2002 the lev has been pegged to the euro at an exchange rate of 1.

95 lev for 1 euro. Bulgaria has not become part of the Eurozone so far and a complete transition to the European single currency has not yet taken place. The image of a lion on Bulgarian currency appeared in the 13th century. The first currency, called the “lion,” emerged in Bulgaria in 1879 and was in circulation in the country until 1952. The contemporary version appeared in 1999 after redenomination at a rate of 1000: 1.
