Comment
ÉH# 586AInteresting 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 change in Europe. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system aimed at stabilizing the economy and promoting trade, and it features an elegant design that reflects the artistic style of the Renaissance period. Additionally, the use of gold in the coin's composition gives it a high level of durability and scarcity, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
