Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denier coin from the Principality of Transylvania is that it features the effigies of both János Zsigmond and Izabella, who were the ruling couple of the principality at the time of its minting in 1556. This is notable because it was not common for coins of that era to feature the image of a woman, making it a unique and historically significant piece.
