Later, he visited Italy on a study trips. In 1895 he was commissioned to create a reward medal for the Hungarian millennium exhibition of 1896, and his design won first prize.

Bécs – (1) In ancient times this word in Hungarian meant a location that lay outside a defined boundary. In the Transdanubian (Dunántúl) district, the local dialect still uses the expression: “I am going to bécs” to indicate a journey to the periphery of the city. The origin of the word is most likely late Avar. (2) Bécs is the Hungarian name of Vienna, capital of Austria. – B: 0942, T: 3233.

Bécs Country – According to Pál (Paul) Király, this term was used to describe a territory that lay outside the boundary of a larger region but belonging to it. The theory is supported by a text in the Wagner Universal Dictionary describing how King Mátyás I (Matthias Corvinus, 1458-1490) conquered Bécsország (Bécs country) as a whole. Although it is located outside the boundary proper, the author of the text regards the territory as an outlying part of Hungary, since it was under the authority of the Hungarian Crown during the reign of King Mátyás. It was in this sense that the district was named Bécsország. – B: 1133, T: 3233.→Mátyás I, King.
