| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing figure of the Virgin Mary (Madonna) seated, holding the infant Christ, rendered in the Gothic style typical of late medieval Hungarian gold florins. The figure is depicted within a beaded inner circle, with the royal letter 'S' visible in the lower field, likely a mint or assayer mark. The surrounding Latin legend reads WLADISLAV · S · R VnGARIE, identifying Vladislaus II as King of Hungary, and runs between the beaded inner circle and the coin's irregular hammered edge. The strike is characteristic of late 15th-century Hungarian hammering technique, with some weakness at the periphery. |

Vladislaus II — Władysław Jagiellończyk to the Poles — came to the Hungarian throne in 1490 after a contested election that saw him defeat Maximilian I's claim by political maneuvering rather than military force. His reign was fiscally catastrophic. The nobility had extracted the decretum maius of 1486 from his predecessor, gutting royal revenue, and Vladislaus proved constitutionally incapable of reversing the damage — contemporaries called him Rex Bene, "King Good," a sardonic nickname for his habit of approving whatever was put before him.
Gold florin production continued through these years largely on inertia, sustained by Hungary's Transylvanian mines rather than any coherent monetary policy.
