These were struck as circulation coins. According to Krause, they're worth bullion value once they're worn down to Fine. Mintage 748,000. The coin was struck at the Kremnitz mint which, as chrisild reminded me, isn't actually in Hungary anymore.
There's a brief note at the intro of the Hungarian section of Krause, to the effect that many Hungarian coins were restruck during the period 1925-1948, which usually have a small rosette privy mark added somewhere near the normal mintmark. Several coins are noted as being restruck; this coin (KM#495) and the other gold coins of the period aren't listed.
I agree that the design is cool - that's a very "Neo-Roman" posture the emperor is standing in - quite unusual for a modern world coin.
