Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - II György Rákóczi 1649 coin from the Principality of Transylvania is that it features an image of György Rákóczi II, a prominent Hungarian nobleman and military leader, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Principality of Transylvania on the other. This coin was minted in 1649, during Rákóczi's reign as Prince of Transylvania, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the region. The use of Rákóczi's image on the coin was a symbol of his leadership and influence in the region, and the coat of arms on the reverse side represented the Principality's independence and sovereignty.
