Interesting fact
The 10 Ducats - Michael I Apafi 1671 coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is interesting because it was minted 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. In 1671, the year this coin was minted, the Principality was facing threats from the Ottoman Empire, which had already conquered much of Hungary. Despite these challenges, the Principality managed to maintain its independence and cultural identity, and coins like this one were an important symbol of its sovereignty.
