Interesting fact

The 1 Florin coin featuring I György Rákóczi from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is interesting because it was made of gold, which was a rare and valuable material at the time. The coin's weight of 3.48 grams is also notable, as it would have been a significant amount of gold for a circulating coin. Additionally, the fact that it was issued during Rákóczi's reign (1631-1637) makes it a unique piece of history from that time period.
