Additional information

Ferdinand III issued Hungarian florins continuously from his coronation as King of Hungary in 1625 through his death in 1657, with production persisting under residual authority into 1659. The Hungarian florin at this weight standard was essentially a Rhenish goldgulden equivalent, maintaining a specification that Hungarian mints had held with remarkable consistency since the Angevin monetary reforms of the fourteenth century — a durability that made Hungarian gold a trusted medium across Central European trade networks long before Habsburg consolidation.

The ÉH#925 attribution places this within Huszár's exhaustive reclassification of the series; collectors working from older Resch references will find the numbering diverges significantly.
