The Florin coin minted during the reign of Matthias II (1611-1613) in Hungary is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of .990 gold, which means it was composed of 99% pure gold. This high gold content made it a valuable and sought-after coin during its time, and it remains a prized collector's item among numismatists today.
