Comment
ÉH# 586BInteresting fact
The Florin coin is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Vladislaus II of Hungary, who was also known as Vladislaus Jagellionis, and was a member of the Jagiellonian dynasty. This dynasty played an important role in the history of Eastern Europe, particularly in Poland and Lithuania, during the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of gold also make it a unique and valuable piece for collectors.
