Comment
Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu, * 1654, † 1714, ruled a relatively weak principality, which was surrounded by strong powers. Outside, he submitted to the Turks, but operated a dangerous double game behind the scenes and negotiated with both the Russian tsar and the Habsburg emperor. When the Ottoman diplomats found out, the Sultan had Prince Constantin and his sons arrested during their stay in Istanbul. Since the prince refused to give up his belief and convert to Islam, he was executed with his family.Interesting fact
The 5 Gold Ducat - Constantin Brâncoveanu 1713 coin is a rare and valuable coin that was minted during the reign of Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu of Wallachia (now part of Romania) in the early 18th century. It is made of gold and weighs 17.05 grams, making it a significant coin in terms of both its historical value and its intrinsic value. The coin features an image of Prince Brâncoveanu on one side and the Wallachian coat of arms on the other, and is considered a prized collector's item among numismatists.
