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 in the early 17th century, and Gabriel Bethlen was a prominent leader who played a key role in its formation and governance. 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.
