Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Ducats - Michael I Apafi 1662-1664 coin from Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) made of Gold is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic motifs on its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the coat of arms of the Apafi family, while the reverse side features an image of the Holy Trinity, surrounded by Islamic-style floral patterns and Arabic inscriptions. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural diversity of the Principality of Transylvania during the 17th century, when it was a part of the Ottoman Empire.
