The face of each note highlights a masterwork of Hungarian engraving:
- 10 Pengő (1936): Features the elegant profile of the Madonna (Szűz Mária) with the infant Jesus on the left, counterbalanced by a traditional model portrait on the right.
- 20 Pengő (1941): Showcases a rustic central vignette of a shepherd with his flock alongside an ornately decorated female portrait.
- 100 Pengő (1930): Displays the authoritative portrait of the legendary Renaissance monarch, King Matthias (Hunyadi Mátyás), flanked by a pair of angels holding the national coat of arms.
The reverse sides are equally striking, exhibiting intricate geometric guilloche patterns, multi-language denominations, and expansive historical fine-art engravings detailing Hungary's rich cultural heritage.
