Student designed a fictional currency, the Hungarian euro with Beautiful plants and animal Designs.
Student artist Barbara Bernat creatively re-imagines Hungarian paper money as her MA degree project.
This project is a banknote series for which she came up with a fictional currency, the Hungarian euro. The common side of each note features European animals, the other side shows related species of plants. she used the original proportions of the existing euro banknote for design, as the denomination increases, the size of each banknote is growing. The animals also represent the growth of value.
“I designed and prepared five denomination of ten etchings, all etched in separate copperplates. This subtle and refined form of reproduction enabled me to imitate the original technique used during the production of banknotes, intaglio printing,” the artist says on her website.
“My goal was to create a complete series with clear design, that transcends the tradition of banknote making.”–
