I got this coin the other day along with 12 other Hungarian coins. I like the design.

Yes, a nice piece indeed; I have one of those too. The drawing, however, is not a coin-specific design but the logo of the organization: http://www.gyermekmento.hu (Click on the UK flag icon to get some background info in English.)

Indeed a nice design, however I didn't know there existed a 50 fLorint coin  ;)

No such thing, hehe. Fixed the title, but keep in mind that the word "forint" is derived from the florin/fiorino. ;)

Nice coin! Was it 'designed' by a kid? ;)

Wow, never noticed...I always assumed it was a florin. Learn something every day even if I should have knew it 40 years ago  :-[

Not sure who designed the logo. But it can also be found on a surcharged postage stamp issued in 2011: https://www.posta.hu/static/internet/download/04_Gyerekmentok_EN.pdf (text in English). Might as well have been an adult who wanted to create a simple yet "obvious" design ...
