R.: 126Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Garas coin from the Principality of Transylvania is that it features a unique design element - a crescent moon and a star, which were symbols of the Islamic world and were used to represent the Ottoman Empire's influence on the region. This blend of Islamic and Christian symbols on a single coin highlights the cultural diversity and religious tolerance that existed in the Principality of Transylvania during the 17th century.
