Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted during the reign of János Zsigmond (1562-1565), is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of gold, specifically 3.49 grams of gold, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. This coin was also a symbol of the wealth and power of the Principality of Transylvania during the 16th century.
