Interesting fact

The 1 Obol coin from the Principality of Transylvania, issued during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen in 1621-1622, features a unique design element - a crescent moon and a star on the obverse side, which was a symbol of the Islamic faith, reflecting the religious diversity of the region during that time.
