Weight varies significantly from 10.10 to 42.90 grams!
Value above is an average estimation, it depended on contemporary silver/gold prices and the weight of the coin.
Probably a prestige strike, circulation must have been very limited.

Interesting fact

The Guldiner - Vladislaus II 1506 coin from Hungary is interesting because it was issued during the reign of King Vladislaus II, who was also known as Ladislaus II and was a member of the Jagellonian dynasty. He was King of Hungary and Croatia from 1490 until his death in 1516. The coin was minted in 1506, which was a significant year for the kingdom, as it marked the beginning of a period of relative peace and stability after years of conflict and political turmoil. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Latin, as well as an image of the king himself, and it was likely used for everyday transactions and commerce. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
