Interesting fact

The 1 Florin - Gábor Báthori 1611-1612 coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and social change in the region. The Principality of Transylvania was a semi-independent state that emerged in the 16th century within the Kingdom of Hungary, and it was ruled by a series of princes, including Gábor Báthori, who was a powerful and influential leader. The coin's design features an image of Báthori on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the close connection between the Principality and the Kingdom of Hungary. The fact that it was made of gold also highlights the wealth and prosperity of the region at the time.
