Interesting fact
The 1 Military Thaler - János Zsigmond 1562 from Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency during a time of military conflict. The coin was issued by Prince John Sigismund in 1562, during the Ottoman-Habsburg Wars, and it was used to pay for military expenses and supplies. The coin's design features the prince's coat of arms on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the unity of the Hungarian states against the Ottoman Empire. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and valuable, making it a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
