Comment
Variant exists.Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Transylvania, issued during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen in 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 Holy Crown of Hungary, and is surrounded by the busts of four Hungarian kings: Stephen I, Ladislaus I, Louis I, and Sigismund. This design was meant to symbolize the unity of the Hungarian states and the power of the Transylvanian principality.
