Interesting fact

The 1 Garas coin from the City of Kronstadt (Hungarian States) made of Silver weighing 1.15g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was minted between 1612 and 1615, a period when the Hungarian States were experiencing significant growth and development, and the coin reflects this change in its design and production. The coin's silver content and weight also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of currency and the region.
