Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted during the reign of Gábor Báthori (1609-1612), is interesting because it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic motifs on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of the Virgin Mary, while the reverse side features the Islamic crescent moon and star, reflecting the cultural and religious diversity of the region during that time.
