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 John II of Aragon, who was also known as John the Great. He was a prominent figure in the history of the Spanish States and played a significant role in the expansion of the Aragonese Empire. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Valencia on the other, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
