Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers - Francis Joseph I 1870-1889 coin from Hungary is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the country. The coin was introduced in 1870, just a few years after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, which established the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary. This period saw significant political, economic, and social changes in Hungary, including the expansion of railroads, industry, and trade, as well as the rise of nationalism and political unrest. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout Francis Joseph I's reign, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item today.
