Well, I don't want this blog to become too much biased for the Hungarian medieval coins, I just can't resist to post another gold coin of King Louis I, also called 'The Great' (Nagy Lajos kiraly in Hungarian). This is again a gold florin, imitiating the fiorino d'oro of Florence. It weights 3.56 g, the obverse is the usual shield, half Anjou, half Hungarian, the reverse depicts Saint Ladislaus (Szent Laszlo), that is, king Ladislaus I of Hungary. The legend is LODOVICI.D.G.R UNGARIAN, and on the reverse: SANTUS. LADISLAUS. This coin was sold on an auction for $2100.
