CORONATVS
Interesting fact
The 5 Ducats - Vladislaus II (Coronation) 1508 coin from Hungary is interesting because it was issued to commemorate the coronation of Vladislaus II, also known as Ladislaus II, who was the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1490 until his death in 1516. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. It was minted in 1508, which was a significant year for Vladislaus II, as it marked the 25th anniversary of his reign. The coin's gold content and weight also make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
