Interesting fact
The 3 Garas coin from the Principality of Transylvania, minted during the reign of Zsigmond Báthori in 1596-1597, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the issuing authority, the coin bears an image of a wild boar, which was a symbol of strength and bravery in medieval Hungarian culture. This unique design choice makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time and reflects the cultural and historical context in which it was minted.
