NOTE: the obv. picture is of ÉH#618 and it shall be replaced; on this coin the Madonna has no glory!Interesting fact
The Florin coin featuring Vladislaus II, issued in Hungary between 1511 and 1517, is notable for its unique design. One side of the coin depicts the king in a standing position, holding a scepter and wearing a crown, while the other side features the Hungarian coat of arms. This design was a departure from the traditional depiction of monarchs on coins, which typically showed them seated or on horseback. The use of a standing figure was seen as a symbol of strength and power, reflecting the influence of Renaissance art and humanism on the coin's design.
