Interesting fact

The Florin coin is quite rare and valuable, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Alfonso V of Aragon, who was also known as Alfonso the Magnanimous. He was a powerful and influential king who expanded his kingdom's territories and played a significant role in the politics of the Mediterranean region during his time. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the king's influence and legacy, making it a fascinating piece of history for collectors and numismatists.
