Alba Lulia mint.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 political and social change in the region. The Principality of Transylvania was a short-lived state that emerged during the Thirty Years' War and was known for its religious tolerance and diverse culture. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 1.49 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at the time. Despite its small size, the coin has a rich history and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
