Comment
Vgl. 722bInteresting fact
The Michael I Apafi 1662 2 Thalers coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is notable for its unique design, which features a portrait of Michael I Apafi, the Prince of Transylvania, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Principality of Transylvania on the other. The coat of arms features a shield with the symbols of the seven Hungarian tribes, which according to legend, were the original settlers of the region. This design was used on several coins during Apafi's reign, but the 1662 issue is particularly rare and sought after by collectors.
