Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers - Maria Theresa 1755-1765 coin from Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is that it was minted during the reign of Maria Theresa, who was the first and only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and one of the most powerful women of the 18th century. She was known for her many reforms and her efforts to strengthen the economy and military of her territories, which included the Principality of Transylvania. The coin's design, featuring an image of Maria Theresa on one side and the coat of arms of Transylvania on the other, reflects her influence and legacy in the region.
