Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from Wallachia, minted during the reign of Dan I (1383-1386), was used as a means of payment and exchange in the region, but it also had a unique feature that made it stand out. The coin was minted with a distinctive "tree-like" shape, with a stem and branches on one side, and a cross on the other. This unique design was meant to symbolize the connection between the natural world and the divine, and it was a hallmark of Wallachian coinage during that time period.
