Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Transylvania, issued during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen in 1628-1629, 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, surrounded by two angels holding the shield. This design was a departure from the traditional coat of arms used by the Principality, and it signifies the influence of the Hungarian monarchy on the region during that time.
