Counterfeit Florins of Aragon with optical illusion of the obverse legend (see link below).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Florin - Gaston Phoebus ND (1369-1391) from Lordship of Béarn (French States) is that it was minted during the reign of Gaston Phoebus, who was the Count of Foix and Viscount of Béarn from 1343 until his death in 1391. He was known for his military campaigns and his patronage of the arts, and this coin is a testament to the wealth and prosperity of his reign.
