Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Zsigmond Báthori 1596-1598 coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic motifs on its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned shield with the Hungarian coat of arms, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription in a circular border, surrounded by a floral motif. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse religious and artistic traditions of the Principality of Transylvania during the 16th century.
