Florin - János Zsigmond

János Zsigmond Zápolya held Transylvania under Ottoman suzerainty, a political arrangement that kept him perpetually at odds with Habsburg claimants to the Hungarian throne. His gold florins were struck to maintain the commercial credibility his court needed — Ottoman backing gave political cover but not economic weight. The references to multiple Resch numbers reflect genuine die variation across this issue, not cataloging ambiguity.
