Siege coinage

Interesting fact

The Garas 1612 coin from the City of Kronstadt (Hungarian States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Hungarian States were facing political and economic challenges, and the minting of this coin was likely a way for the city to assert its independence and show its resilience during a difficult period. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and weighs 1.50 g makes it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists today.
