Probably a prestige strike, circulation must have been very limited.
Interesting fact
The Guldiner coin featuring Vladislaus II from Hungary, made of silver and weighing 15.60g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1506, a period when many European countries were transitioning from using bartering systems to using coins as a standard form of currency. The Guldiner coin was one of the first coins to be widely accepted and used in trade, helping to pave the way for the use of coins as we know them today.
