Description
The Gold 100 Corona is a renowned gold coin minted by the Austrian Mint. It bears the image of Franz Joseph I, the Emperor of Austria from 1848 to 1916. The coin was originally issued to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1908. Although it does not hold official face value, it is popular among collectors and investors due to its large size and gold purity. Weighing nearly 34 grams, with a gold fineness of .900, it is a significant investment piece. The craftsmanship and historical significance make the Gold 100 Corona a desirable addition to any collection or portfolio.
A “restrike” coin is a term used in numismatics to denote a coin that has been minted again using original or reproduction dies, often with the intention to create a faithful replica of a significant or historical coin. It is important to note that while restrikes resemble the original coin in design and composition they are distinguished by the 1915 date.
