Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted during the reign of Michael I Apafi (1666-1675), is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the taxes of the Principality, which was a significant amount, as the Principality was known for its rich gold and silver mines. This coin, made of gold and weighing 3.45 grams, was a valuable and highly sought-after currency during its time.
