Interesting fact
The Florin coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few known to exist in such good condition. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during the reign of Vladislaus II, who was the King of Hungary and Bohemia, and it features an image of him on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. Additionally, the coin is made of gold, which adds to its value and rarity. It's a truly remarkable piece of history that offers a glimpse into the economic and political climate of 15th-century Hungary.
