Comment
R.: 39Interesting fact
The 1 Florin coin from the Principality of Transylvania, featuring Gabriel Bethlen, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the region. The Principality of Transylvania was a short-lived state that emerged during the Thirty Years' War, and Gabriel Bethlen was a prominent leader who played a key role in its formation and governance. The coin's minting was likely a symbol of the new state's independence and power, and its gold content would have made it a valuable and prestigious currency at the time.
