| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the quartered royal arms of Hungary within a shield: the dexter half displaying the Árpád dynasty's horizontal barry (alternating bars), the sinister half bearing the patriarchal double cross on a mound, and the base of the shield charged with the Hunyadi raven device. The heraldic shield is rendered in the hammered gothic style typical of mid-15th-century Hungarian florins. A beaded inner circle separates the arms from the surrounding Latin legend, which reads the name and titles of John Hunyadi as regent. The coin's irregular round flan is consistent with hand-struck medieval gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John Hunyadi struck coins in his own name during his regency for the young Ladislaus V, a remarkable assertion of authority for a man who held no royal title. The florin series bearing his name dates to the period 1446–1452, when Hunyadi governed Hungary as regent following the death of Władysław III at Varna in 1444 — a military disaster that left the kingdom effectively leaderless and created the political vacuum he moved quickly to fill.
Florins of this type follow the long-established Angevin weight standard that Hungarian mints had maintained since Charles Robert's monetary reforms of the 1320s, a standard so trusted that Hungarian gold circulated across central Europe as a premium trade currency.
