Comment
This is probably only known piece in public. Even in Huszar catalogue is only drawing what suggests that this coin is not in collection of Magyar National Museum. Coins of George Rackozi I are very rare, this holed 3 garas was sold in auction of Emporium Hamburg for 1250e + premium.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Garas coin featuring I György Rákóczi from the Principality of Transylvania is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change in the region. The Principality of Transylvania was a semi-independent state that emerged in the 16th century within the Kingdom of Hungary, and it was during this time that the coin was minted. The coin's design features I György Rákóczi, who was a prominent Hungarian nobleman and military leader who played a significant role in the region's history. Despite the coin's age, it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
