Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Kreuzers - Francis Joseph I (Pattern) 1867 from Hungary is that it was designed by Austrian artist and engraver, Joseph Daniel Böhm. Böhm was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and his designs were used on many coins throughout Europe during the 19th century. The coin's design features a portrait of Francis Joseph I, the Emperor of Austria, on the obverse side, and a depiction of the Hungarian coat of arms on the reverse side. The use of Billon, a metal alloy consisting of 40% silver and 60% copper, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver.
