Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted during the reign of Michael I Apafi (1667-1677), is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the ransom of the French king, Louis XIV, who was held captive by the Holy Roman Emperor, Leopold I, during the Franco-Austrian War.
