Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) made of Gold weighing 3.54g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Principality of Transylvania was a short-lived state that was established in the mid-17th century, during a period of political upheaval in the Hungarian Kingdom. Despite its brief existence, the Principality managed to issue its own coins, including the 1 Ducat coin, which features Ákos Barcsai, a prominent Hungarian nobleman and military leader. The coin's design and issuance during this time period highlight the complex political and economic dynamics of the region during the 17th century.
