The Florin coin featuring Vladislaus II, minted between 1510 and 1516 in Hungary, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of gold, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. The coin's weight of 3.63 grams is also notable, as it was a significant amount for a circulating coin during that period.
