About the Austrian 100 Corona Gold Coin

The Austrian 100 Corona Gold Coin is a large gold coin issued during the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the early 20th century.

With a face value of 100 corona, it was considered an extremely valuable coin even within the monetary system of the time.

Today, it is valued by investors and holders worldwide as a historic gold coin containing nearly one ounce of pure gold.

Obverse Design (Franz Joseph I)

The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph I (1830–1916), Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

He ruled for approximately 68 years and was a symbol of the stability and tradition of the empire.

Its dignified portrait is still highly regarded today as a classic and elegant design.

Reverse Design (Imperial Coat of Arms and Double-Headed Eagle)

The reverse features the coat of arms of the Austrian Empire superimposed on a crowned double-headed eagle.

This design is a symbol of imperial authority, inheriting a tradition dating back to the Holy Roman Empire, and exudes strength and dignity.

About the Austrian Mint

The Austrian Mint, which produced this gold coin, is one of Europe's leading official mints, with a history spanning over 800 years.

Today, the Mint produces globally acclaimed bullion coins, including the Vienna Philharmonic.

The 100 Corona gold coin is a historic gold coin that embodies their technical expertise and tradition.

About 1915 Restrikes

The 1915 100 Corona gold coins widely circulating on the market are officially restrikes (re-minted) produced in later years.

These coins were officially produced for collectors and bullion purposes. At GoldSilverJapan, we value them based on their pure gold weight, regardless of whether they are original or restrikes.
