Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) made of Gold weighing 3.46g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Maria Theresa (1746-1765) and features an image of the monarch on one side and the coat of arms of Transylvania on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment and circulated widely throughout the region during that time.
