Interesting fact
The Guldiner Gold Strike - Vladislaus II 1506 coin from Hungary is an extremely rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Vladislaus II of Hungary, who was also known as Vladislaus II Jagiello, and was a member of the powerful Jagiello dynasty that ruled Hungary and other parts of Eastern Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other, and is made of gold, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists and historians, and is considered a valuable piece of history.
