C2-170Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Florin - Ladislaus V ND (1453-1457) from Hungary made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.60 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Ladislaus V, also known as Ladislaus the Posthumous, who was the son of Albert II of Habsburg and Elizabeth of Luxembourg. Despite being the rightful heir to the throne, Ladislaus' reign was marked by political instability and power struggles, which ultimately led to his death in 1457 at the age of 17. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a tangible reminder of this tumultuous period in Hungarian history.
