Interesting fact
The 10 Ducats - Michael I Apafi 1675 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, and Michael I Apafi was a prince who ruled during a period of conflict with the neighboring Ottoman Empire. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design.
