Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Corona - Francis Joseph I (Probe) 1914 from Austrian Empire made of Nickel plated copper is that it was designed by the Austrian artist and engraver, Anton Scharff. Scharff was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for the Pattern 1 Corona features a portrait of Emperor Francis Joseph I on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Austrian coat of arms. The coin was minted in 1914, but it was not widely circulated and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
