Comment
Later restrike on the picture!Interesting fact
The 2 Thalers - Michael I Apafi 1667 coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is interesting because it was issued 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 intricate designs and inscriptions that reflect the cultural and historical significance of the time.
