Interesting fact
The 1 Florin coin from the Principality of Transylvania, issued during the reign of Gábor Báthori (1611-1613), is interesting because it was made of gold, which was a rare and valuable material at the time. The coin's weight of 3.51 grams is also notable, as it suggests that it was a substantial piece of currency, with a high value relative to other coins in circulation. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin indicates that it was widely used and accepted in trade, making it a significant part of the economy of the Principality of Transylvania during that time.
