Florin - Sigismund

Sigismund of Luxembourg came to the Hungarian throne through his marriage to Mary of Anjou, and his early reign was anything but stable — he was captured by dissident barons in 1401 and held for several months, which effectively marks the terminus of this issue. The florins struck under his name during this period closely followed the Florentine weight and fineness standard that Hungary had maintained since Charles Robert introduced it in the 1320s, making Hungarian gold the most trusted trade coinage in central Europe.

ÉH#445 corresponds to the earlier emission; the transition to later types tracks administrative changes in the royal mint at Körmöcbánya.
