Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Thalers - Gabriel Bethlen (Klippe) 1626 coin from Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) is that it features a unique design element - a crescent moon and a star on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the Principality of Transylvania. This design element was added to the coin to represent the Islamic faith, which was practiced by the ruling prince, Gabriel Bethlen. This coin is a rare example of a coin that combines Christian and Islamic symbols, reflecting the diverse cultural and religious influences present in the region during that time.
