Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kronen 1923-1924 coin from Austria is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a currency reform aimed at stabilizing the Austrian economy, which had been struggling with hyperinflation in the early 1920s. Despite being made of gold, the coin's value was not pegged to the value of gold, but rather to the Austrian schilling, which was the official currency of Austria at the time. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Austria in the early 20th century.
