| Additional information |
Alfonso V of Aragon spent so much of his reign — effectively from 1432 until his death in 1458 — resident in Naples that Valencia's mint operated with considerable administrative independence during these decades. The Valencian florin follows the Aragonese tradition derived directly from the Florentine florin, which the Crown of Aragon had adopted as its gold standard in the fourteenth century. The Cru#813 attribution places this within a well-documented but long series, and individual specimens often require close die study to narrow the striking date.
