Interesting fact
The Florin coin of Vladislaus II from Hungary, made of gold and weighing 3.53g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Hungary. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system aimed at stabilizing the country's economy, which had been struggling with inflation and debasement of the currency. The introduction of the Florin coin, which was based on the Venetian ducat, helped to restore confidence in the Hungarian currency and facilitated trade and commerce. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring the image of King Vladislaus II, symbolized the power and authority of the Hungarian monarchy during this period.
