Comment
Franz Joseph I 100 Corona 1908, KM# 2812Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by Togo in 2008 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I, despite the fact that Franz Joseph I died in 1916, 92 years before the coin was issued. This highlights the fact that the coin was likely issued as a way for Togo to honor its historical ties with Austria, rather than as a way to commemorate a specific anniversary. Additionally, the coin's unusual denomination of 1500 Francs CFA and its gold composition make it a unique and valuable collector's item.
