Comment
NB mint mark on both sides.Interesting fact
The 1 Garas coin from the Principality of Transylvania, featuring Gabriel Bethlen, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Principality of Transylvania was a short-lived state that emerged during the Thirty Years' War, a devastating conflict that lasted from 1618 to 1648. Despite the challenges of this time, the Principality was able to issue its own currency, which is a testament to its resilience and determination to maintain its independence.
