Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted during the reign of Zsigmond Báthori (1591-1594), is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of gold, specifically 3.53 grams of gold, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. This coin was not only a symbol of wealth and power but also played a crucial role in the economy of the Principality of Transylvania during the late 16th century.
