Interesting fact

The 5 Ducats coin from the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 17.5g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Maria Theresa (1754-1760), who was the first female head of the House of Habsburg and one of the most influential women in European history.
