Emperor Franz Joseph, I can be seen posing on this Hungarian Gold 10 Korona coin, which were more elusive than their Austrian counterparts and were minted for less than 25 years. Gold 10 Koronas were first issued by the Austro-Hungarian empire in 1892 following the coinage reform adopted in that year. The last regular issue of the 10 Korona denomination for circulation was in 1915 during the last years of the reign of Franz Joseph I, during World War I when Gold coinage production ceased.
