Interesting fact
The Florin coin featuring Zsigmond Báthori, issued in the Principality of Transylvania (Hungarian States) between 1592 and 1594, is notable for its unique design. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features a rare depiction of a Ottoman Sultan, Mehmed III, on the reverse side. This is a remarkable aspect of the coin, given the historical context of the time, as the Ottoman Empire and the Principality of Transylvania were not typically known for their political alliances. The coin's design serves as a testament to the complex political and cultural relationships that existed during that era.
