Petőfi Sándor was a Hungarian poet and a key figure in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 after he wrote the poem, “Nemzeti dal’, and read it on the steps of the Hungarian National Museum on March 15th that year to a crowd that began chanting then marching around the city.
He is widely considered one of Hungary's greatest poets and in 2023 a commemorative 30,000 HUF forint coin was released with his image on.
