Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted during the reign of Michael I Apafi in 1666-1667, features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with the symbols of the seven Hungarian tribes, representing the seven founding tribes of the Hungarian people. This design was a nod to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of the time.
