The plant is a Colchicum hungaricum.
Your coin should be cupronickel: 75% copper; 25% nickle.
An interesting story is associated with the one forint coin: Someone is Canada figured out the 1 forint coin fit into the slot for the Canadian underground rail system. Many were exported to Canada and used in this manner till the authorities saw what was going on and retooled their collection devices.
