Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles III 1729-1733 from Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Principality of Transylvania was a semi-independent state within the Hungarian Kingdom, and Charles III was the Prince of Transylvania from 1729 to 1733. During his reign, he implemented various economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency, the Ducat, which was intended to replace the existing currency, the Florin. The 1 Ducat coin was minted in gold (.986) and weighed 3.45 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after coin among collectors today.
