Summary

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Transylvania" class="extiw" title="w:Coat of arms of Transylvania">Coat of arms of Transylvania</a> from 1659 to 1867. It was adopted Transylvania's coat of arms by the Diet of 1659. It depicts:

   * on a blue background, a black eagle or Turul facing dexter, with gold bill and red tongue representing the Hungarian nobles.
   * the Sun (dexter) and the crescent Moon (sinister) representing the Szeklers.
   * a red dividing band (originally not part of the coat of arms).
   * seven red towers with black doors in two series (4+3) on a gold background representing the seven fortified cities of the Transylvanian Saxons - the display is connected with the German name of Transylvania - Siebenbürgen ("Seven Fortresses").

The red dividing band was used for the first time by Prince Michael I Apafi, and its first variant was featured on gold coins he issued in 1666.
