Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Gábor Báthori ND (1608-1613) coin from Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the region. The Principality of Transylvania was a semi-independent state that emerged in the 16th century within the Kingdom of Hungary, and Gábor Báthori was one of its most prominent rulers. During his reign, he implemented a number of reforms aimed at strengthening the Principality's economy and military, and the minting of this coin was likely a part of those efforts. Despite the turbulent times, the coin has survived to this day and remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
