Comment
Huszar catalogue is mentioning mintmark HL as name Hans Lorenz from Košice. But huszar is not sure, he put there "?"Interesting fact
The 2 Thalers coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted in 1629 during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen, features an interesting design element - a unique blend of Christian and Islamic motifs. On one side, the coin bears the image of the Holy Trinity, while on the other, it features the Islamic crescent moon and star, reflecting the multicultural and religiously diverse nature of the Principality at the time.
