History & Notable Facts
The 1923 restrike of the Austrian 100 Corona was produced using original dies from the Austro-Hungarian era, linking it directly to coins minted before the empire's collapse.
That makes it a straightforward bullion piece, struck in 0.980 fine gold and weighing 33.52 grams. The obverse features Emperor Franz Josef I, his profile as stern as ever, while the reverse shows the imperial eagle in full heraldic glory. No surprises there—it's pure gold, not some mythical artifact.
Mintage figures for these restrikes are murky; records from the period were spotty at best. What we know is that they were issued to stabilize currency after World War I, though demand was tepid.
Plenty of these turn up in vaults today, valued more for their metal than history. As for myths, I've heard enough about "cursed coronas" to last a lifetime—it's just gold, folks.
