Interesting fact

The 3 Thalers coin from the Principality of Transylvania, issued during the reign of Michael I Apafi in 1662, features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms combines the symbols of the three nations that made up the Principality - the Hungarian, the Saxon, and the Romanian. This design represents the diverse cultural heritage of the region and highlights the importance of unity and cooperation among the different communities.
