Interesting fact
The Florin coin featuring Vladislaus II, issued in Hungary between 1512 and 1516, is notable for its unique design. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features a rare depiction of the king holding a sword and a scepter, symbolizing his dual role as both a spiritual and temporal leader. This design choice was meant to emphasize the king's authority and power, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of the time.
