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 motifs on its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a cross, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription and a depiction of a crescent moon, reflecting the multicultural and religious nature of the Principality of Transylvania during that time.
