Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat - Zsigmond Báthori 1595 coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Principality of Transylvania was a semi-independent state that emerged in the 16th century, and Zsigmond Báthori was one of its most prominent rulers. However, his reign was marked by conflicts with the neighboring Ottoman Empire, which eventually led to the Principality's annexation by the Ottomans in 1600. Despite this tumultuous history, the 1 Ducat coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its gold content and historical significance making it a prized addition to any collection.
