Comment
Gabriel Bathori, (1589–1613) nephew of Erzsebet Bathory, was the Prince of Transylvania from 1608 to 1613.Interesting fact
The 3 Garas coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted in 1609 during the reign of Gábor Báthori, is interesting because it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in coinage during that time. Despite its small weight of 2.01 grams, the coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce. Additionally, the coin's design, which features an image of Gábor Báthori on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Hungarian States.
