| Reversbeschreibung | A full-length crowned figure of Saint Ladislaus (László) stands facing, clad in royal armour and a long hauberk, holding a sceptre in his right hand and an orb in his left; the mintmark appears divided on either side of the figure. The legend encircling the design identifies the saint as king, with the date of issue incorporated into the inscription. The design follows the well-established Hungarian royal florin type with its characteristic Gothic rendering of the patron saint. |

Louis II came to the Hungarian throne at age ten and spent most of his reign financially exhausted, perpetually unable to fund the defense against Ottoman encroachment that everyone around him demanded. These florins were struck in the years immediately preceding Mohács — the catastrophic 1526 battle that killed Louis himself, drowned in retreat, and effectively ended independent Hungarian kingship for nearly two centuries.
The Hungarian florin by this point had circulated as a trusted gold unit across Central Europe for over 150 years, its fineness closely watched by trading partners. Issues from Louis II's reign show documented variation in gold purity as royal finances deteriorated.
