Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Transylvania, issued during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen in 1621-1622, features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with the Hungarian royal symbols, including the crown and the double-headed eagle, which represents the connection between the Principality of Transylvania and the Hungarian kingdom. This design was used during Bethlen's reign as a way to emphasize the principality's ties to the larger Hungarian state.
