This issue commemorates the gold forint introduced by Louis I of Hungary in 1342, which became one of the most widely circulated and imitated gold coins in medieval Europe — accepted from England to the Levant and copied by dozens of mints across the continent. Ulászló I, whose reign ended at the catastrophic Battle of Varna in 1444, ruled during a period when Hungarian florins still carried that hard-won monetary credibility despite decades of political instability following the Angevin line.
The .986 fineness deliberately mirrors the purity standard Louis I originally mandated, a specification that held with remarkable consistency across Hungarian royal mints for over a century.
