Vladislaus II spent his reign steadily surrendering royal prerogatives to the Hungarian nobility, and the crown's financial position reflected it. Mint revenues were increasingly farmed out to private lessees — among them the Thurzó-Fugger partnership, whose control of the Hungarian copper and silver trade extended into gold coinage operations during precisely these years. Whether a given florin of this type passed through Fugger-connected hands at Kremnica is rarely traceable, but the commercial network that underwrote much of Jagiellonian Hungary ran directly through that mint.
Vladislaus died in 1516, two years before the catastrophe at Mohács that effectively ended the independent Hungarian kingdom.
