R.: 27 H.: 971 ÉHIII: 607Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat - Maria Theresa 1749 coin from Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is that it was minted during the reign of Maria Theresa, who was the first and only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and one of the most influential women in European history. She ruled for 40 years, and her reign saw significant cultural, educational, and economic reforms, as well as military conflicts. The coin's design features an image of Maria Theresa on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing her connection to the Hungarian people and her role as their ruler.
