One interesting fact about the 4 Florins - Ferdinand II 1622 coin from Hungary is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand II, who was the King of Hungary and Bohemia, and the Holy Roman Emperor. At the time, the Thirty Years War was raging across Europe, and Hungary was caught in the middle of the conflict.
