Interesting fact

The 1 Poltura coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) made of Silver weighing 1.18g was minted during the reign of Leopold I (1704-1707). It's interesting to note that during this time, the Principality of Transylvania was under Habsburg rule, and the coinage of the region was heavily influenced by the Austrian monetary system. The 1 Poltura coin was equivalent to 1/4 of a Austrian Gulden, and it was used widely in the region for everyday transactions.
