Comment
R.: 366EInteresting fact
The Gabriel Bethlen 1625-1626 Silver Garas coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Principality of Transylvania was a semi-independent state that emerged in the 16th century within the Kingdom of Hungary, which was then part of the Habsburg Empire. Gabriel Bethlen was a Prince of Transylvania who ruled from 1613 to 1629 and was known for his military campaigns against the Habsburgs. Despite the political instability of the time, the coinage issued during Bethlen's rule, such as this Silver Garas, was known for its high quality and beauty.
