Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Gabriel Bethlen (Klippe) coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Principality of Transylvania. The coin was minted in 1628-1629, during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen, who was a powerful prince of Transylvania. At the time, the principality was facing threats from the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburgs, and Bethlen was struggling to maintain its independence. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the rich history and culture of the region, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
