Interesting fact

The Florin coin featuring Vladislaus II, issued in Hungary between 1503 and 1516, is notable for its unique design. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features a double portrait of the king, with his crowned bust on the obverse (front side) and a smaller image of him on horseback on the reverse (back side). This distinctive design element sets it apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
