Austria - 10 krona 1905 - AU-UNC - gold 900, 19 mm, 3.39 g
Only 10% fees + VAT on this item


The Austrian crown (German: Österreichisch-Ungarische Krone; Hungarian: Osztrák-Magyar korona) was the official currency of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, from 1892 when it replaced the Austro-Hungarian forint until the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918.
The coin was divided into 100 Heller (in Hungary it is called a filler) and was worth half a guilders (old), and was marked with the letter K or Kr.
The Austrian crown (krona) was the legal rule in all the crown states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and also in Liechtenstein.
The krona (Hebrew: כתר) was a common currency in the monarchies of Europe. The origin of the name is in the crown, and in the portrait of the kings on the coin.
The official name of the currency in Austria was Krone (plural: Kronen) and in Hungary Korona (korona), but on the coin and banknotes also appeared the names of the currency that were common in the mouths of the ethnic peoples that made up the empire.
