Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - János Kemény 1661 coin from Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is that it features an image of a turul bird on its reverse side. The turul bird is a mythical creature in Hungarian mythology, often depicted as a large bird of prey with a majestic plumage and sharp talons. It is said to symbolize power, strength, and wisdom. The inclusion of this image on the coin may suggest that the Principality of Transylvania valued these qualities and wanted to associate them with their currency.
