Comment
Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu, * 1654, † 1714, ruled a relatively weak principality, which was surrounded by strong powers. Outside, he submitted to the Turks, but operated a dangerous double game behind the scenes and negotiated with both the Russian tsar and the Habsburg emperor. When the Ottoman diplomats found out, the Sultan had Prince Constantin and his sons arrested during their stay in Istanbul. Since the prince refused to give up his belief and convert to Islam, he was executed with his family.Interesting fact

It is considered a numismatic rarity, and its value lies not only in its silver content but also in its historical significance and artistic design. The coin features an image of Constantin II Brâncoveanu, the Prince of Wallachia, on one side, and the Wallachian coat of arms on the other. Its rarity and historical importance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
