Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted in 1612 during the reign of Gábor Báthori, 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: István, László, Könyves Kálmán, and Béla. This design was meant to symbolize the unity of the Hungarian states and the connection between the Principality of Transylvania and the Kingdom of Hungary.
