The prestigious 100 Coronas gold coins are essential for any serious coin collector. Originally minted in 1908 to commemorate Emperor Franz Joseph I’s 60th anniversary of reign over the Austro-Hungarian Empire, these coins hold significant historical value. Coupled with nearly a full ounce of gold, they represent an excellent investment opportunity.
The 100 Austrian Coronas gold coins boast several advantages, making them a favored choice among discerning collectors. With a guaranteed weight and purity by the Austrian sovereign government, each coin contains 1.08 troy ounces of gold, commanding a strong presence in the bullion market.
These coins attract a global audience, often carrying a low premium, making them easy to buy and sell. Modern restrikes are crafted to the highest industry standards but retain the commemorative date of 1915, a historical nod circumventing the US gold ownership prohibition before 1975.
The obverse of the 100 Austrian gold coin showcases Emperor Franz Joseph I’s profile. Surrounding his bust, inscriptions in Latin affirm his reign over the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1848 to 1916. The reverse features the Coat of Arms of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with a double-headed eagle and the 1915 date. Despite modern restrikes, all coins bear the 1915 date, commemorating Franz Joseph I.
The coin’s edge features the Latin motto “Vnitis Viribvs,” meaning “With United Forces,” reflecting Franz Joseph I’s personal creed.
The Austrian Mint began producing gold coronas in 1892 under Franz Joseph I’s currency reform. Initially minted in 10 and 20 corona denominations, the larger 100 corona coin was introduced in 1908 for the Emperor’s diamond jubilee.
Production ceased during World War I and resumed in 1921, with coins dated 1915, marking the last full year of Franz Joseph I’s reign. Following his death in 1916, all 100 Corona restrikes honor his 68-year reign with the 1915 inscription.
For over fifty years, the 100 Austrian Coronas was a prominent gold coin in the bullion market until the South African Krugerrand emerged. The Austrian Mint increased production in the mid-1970s to compete, alongside the popular Mexican 50 peso.
With over 800 years of history, the Austrian Mint expertly blends tradition with modern coin manufacturing techniques. The 100 Corona Gold Coin stands as a testament to the Mint’s exceptional quality, with weight and purity guaranteed by the Austrian government, ensuring financial security for owners.
