Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Corona - Francis Joseph I (Probe) 1914 from Austrian Empire made of Copper weighing 3.40g is that it was designed by the artist and engraver, Anton Scharff. Scharff was a renowned artist and engraver who worked for the Austrian Mint and was responsible for designing many of the coinage during the reign of Emperor Francis Joseph I. The coin features a portrait of the emperor on one side and an image of the Austrian coat of arms on the other. The Pattern 1 Corona was never officially released into circulation, but a small number of proof coins were struck and are now highly sought after by collectors.
