Comment
R.: 174 H.: 968 ÉHIII: 605/aInteresting fact
The ½ Ducat - Maria Theresa 1770 from Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Maria Theresa, who was the Queen of Hungary and Bohemia from 1740 to 1780. She was known for her efforts to promote the economy and trade of her kingdom, and the minting of this coin was likely a part of those efforts. The coin's design features an image of Maria Theresa on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other, making it a unique and valuable piece of numismatic history.
