- Comments:
- A National Grand Lodge of Austrian States was formed in 1784 which presided over Provincial Grand Lodges, including Hungary. However, in 1867 Austria and Hungary became separate countries and freemasonry in Hungary flourished. Initially seven lodges were formed through the Grand Lodge of the Sun, Bayreuth, Germany. By 1870 the National Grand Lodge of Hungary was formed and by 1872 a Grand Orient was also formed by the Grand Orient of France. In order to unite under a single authority the Symbolic Grand Lodge of Hungary was formed in 1886, which absorbed responsibility of the National Grand Lodge and Grand Orient.
- Comments:
- The Hungarian text 'ÁRPÁD A TESTVÉRİSÉGHEZ SZABAD KŐMŰVESİ SZENT JÁNOS PÁHOLY SZEGED KELETÉN.' translates as 'Lodge Árpád a Testvériséghez, masonic Lodge of Saint John, Szeged East'.

- Comments:
- The scene on the second ribbon device alludes to the Biblical citation of Joppa as the town where materials were unloaded for the construction of the Temple at Jerusalem. One strain of Masonic tradition has it that the sides of the river at Joppa were so steep that workmen had to help one another up onto the bank by means of a certain hold with the right hand, still used in Freemasonry today.
- Comments:
- The French motto on the third ribbon device translates as 'I hold and I will hold'.
