Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Corona coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was introduced in 1909, just a few years before the outbreak of World War I, and it features an image of Emperor Francis Joseph I, who ruled the empire from 1848 until his death in 1916. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remained in circulation until 1912, when it was replaced by a new currency. Today, the 10 Corona coin is a sought-after collector's item, not only for its historical significance but also for its beauty and rarity.
