Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted in 1619 during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen, features an interesting fact. The coin's obverse side bears an image of the prince, while the reverse side features the Hungarian coat of arms. This coin is historically significant because it represents a time when Transylvania was an independent principality, before it became a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting process was a common practice during this period, and the coin's weight of 25.31 grams is a unique characteristic that sets it apart from other coins of its time.
