Interesting fact
The 3 Garas coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted in 1611 during the reign of Gábor Báthori, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and it weighed 2.16 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin of its size and denomination. This suggests that the coin was intended to be a high-value coin, possibly used for large transactions or as a store of value. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in the Principality of Transylvania, which was a region in what is now modern-day Romania and Hungary, highlights the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
