"Sigismund's half guldiners and full guldiners of 1486 are regarded as the bridge between medieval and modern coinage. The types are reminiscent of medieval knighthood, but they represent the first crown-size silver coins to circulate in Europe. The increasing pulse of international trade in the late 15th century created a need for a large silver coin, and fresh discoveries of silver ore in the Alpine foothills provided the raw material for their production. Adding a prominent AD date merely served to highlight the change taking place in European coinage. A landmark in numismatic history."
