| Beschrijving keerzijde | Saint Ladislaus (László) depicted full-length, facing forward in regal attire, wearing a crown and holding a halberd or battle-axe in his right hand and an orb in his left, standing on a plain ground line. The figure is rendered in the Gothic style typical of Hungarian royal florins, with drapery folds indicated by incuse lines. The encircling legend identifies the saint as the patron king of Hungary. The overall composition closely follows the Florentine florin tradition adapted for the Hungarian royal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Matthias Corvinus financed his Black Army — one of the first standing mercenary forces in European history — largely through aggressive fiscal reform, including tight control over the royal mint at Buda. His florins were struck to the same Florentine weight standard that had governed Hungarian gold coinage since the Angevin reforms of the 14th century, a discipline Matthias maintained even as he drained the treasury campaigning against the Ottomans and, later, against the Habsburgs in Austria.
The decade this type spans saw Matthias conquer much of Moravia, Silesia, and Lusatia. He briefly held Vienna itself from 1485 until his death in 1490.
