Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie, which occurred on June 28, 1914, in Sarajevo, Bosnia. This event was a significant trigger for the outbreak of World War I. The coin's design features a portrait of the couple on one side and the Habsburg coat of arms on the other.
