Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Transylvania, issued during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen (1626-1629), features an interesting fact. The coin's obverse side bears an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand II, who was also the King of Hungary at the time. This highlights the complex political landscape of the region during the early 17th century, where the Principality of Transylvania, a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire, was also closely tied to the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary.
