Interesting fact
The ⅛ Ducat - Maria Theresa 1778 coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Maria Theresa, who was the first female head of the House of Habsburg and ruled over a vast territory that included present-day Austria, Hungary, and parts of modern-day Slovakia, Slovenia, and Croatia. Despite being a small denomination coin, it was made of gold, indicating the wealth and power of the Habsburg Empire at the time.
