Interesting fact

The ¼ Ducat coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) made of Gold weighing 0.87 g is interesting because 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 powerful women of the 18th century.
