Comment
H#574 - numeral digits between the legs of St.LászlóInteresting fact
The Florin coin , which was issued during the reign of Sigismund of Luxembourg in the early 15th century, features an interesting design element. On one side, it bears the image of the king himself, while on the other, it features the Hungarian coat of arms, which includes a double-headed eagle. This design choice symbolizes the union between the Luxembourg dynasty and the Hungarian kingdom, highlighting the political alliances and power dynamics of the time.
