Interesting fact
The Florin coin , which was issued during the reign of Louis I of Hungary (1358-1371), is considered a rare and valuable collector's item. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted using a unique process called "flashing," where the gold was hammered into thin sheets and then cut into the desired shape. This process resulted in a coin that was not only beautiful but also durable, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
