Interesting fact
The John Zápolya 1535 Florin coin from Hungary is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the country's history. John Zápolya was a Hungarian nobleman who was elected as the King of Hungary in 1525, but his reign was marked by conflicts with the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburgs. Despite these challenges, the coinage issued during his reign, including the Florin, remained a symbol of the country's rich history and culture.
