Comment
R.: 26Interesting fact
The Ákos Barcsai 1660 Thaler coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a crowned Madonna and Child, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription reading "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." This blending of religious symbols reflects the diverse cultural influences present in the region during the 17th century.
