Interesting fact
The 10 Ducats coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen in 1621-1622, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of promoting the Protestant religion. The coin's design features an image of Bethlen on one side and the Calvinist shield on the other, symbolizing the prince's support for the Protestant faith. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians interested in the history of religion and numismatics.
