Interesting fact

The 1 Florin coin from the Principality of Transylvania, featuring Gabriel Bethlen, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Principality was facing threats from the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburgs, and Bethlen's rule was marked by his efforts to maintain independence and stability in the face of these challenges. Despite these challenges, the coin still holds significant numismatic value and is highly sought after by collectors today.
