Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Transylvania, issued during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen (1623-1626), features an interesting design element - a unique blend of Christian and Islamic motifs. On one side, the coin bears the image of the Virgin Mary, while on the other side, it features the Islamic crescent moon and star. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the region during that time, and highlights the tolerance and acceptance of different faiths in the Principality of Transylvania.
