Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.48 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Maria Theresa, who was the first and only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and one of the most influential women in European history. She played a significant role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of Europe during her reign, and her legacy can still be seen in the modern-day coinage of many European countries.
