Comment
Slightly different portrait than KM# 2134.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers - Francis I 1831 coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1831, just a few years after the Congress of Vienna, which was a conference of European powers that aimed to reorganize Europe after the Napoleonic Wars. The Austrian Empire, which was one of the major powers involved in the Congress, was facing significant economic challenges at the time, including inflation and debt. Despite these challenges, the empire continued to mint coins like the 10 Kreuzers, which were used for everyday transactions and were an important symbol of the empire's power and influence.
