Genuine corona gold coins from Hungary-Austria
Just over a century ago, Hungary was the leading European nation in the minting of gold coins. The crown or corona from Hungary is therefore still considered a true classic today and has gained considerably in value in many vintages. But the ducat gold coins from Hungary are also still widespread and popular today.
Franz Josef I, then Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, is depicted on the obverse of the coin. The image shows him wearing the crown of St. Stephen, the imperial orb, a sceptre and a cloak. The surrounding text reads in Hungarian "FERENCZ.JÓZSEF I.K.A.CS ÉS M.H.S.D.O.AP.KIR.", i.e. "Franz Josef, by the grace of God Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary, Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia".
The crown of St. Stephen and the Hungarian coat of arms with the inscription "MAGYAR KIRÁLYSÁG" (Kingdom of Hungary) are embossed on the payment side.
Due to the former nation of Austria-Hungary, numerous coins from the beginning of the 20th century can be attributed to Hungarian coinage, although today they are regarded as coins from Austria. Gold coins worth 10 or 20 crowns minted between 1892 and 1915 are particularly well known. There are official restrikes of individual years from this period. In addition to crowns, Austrian gold ducats and florins (gulden) are among the best-known coins minted during this period and have long since become an upmarket investment.
