Individual type · partial
Period
1894
The obverse depicts the monarch standing in ceremonial robes and holding the Orb of Hungary, while the reverse bears the crowned Hungarian coat of arms supported by two angels beneath the inscription Magyar Királyság (Kingdom of Hungary).
Struck at the Kremnica Mint and bearing the "K.B." mintmark, the 20 Korona formed part of the gold standard coinage of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and circulated throughout one of Europe's most influential monarchies. Franz Joseph ruled from 1848 until 1916, presiding over an era of modernization and imperial expansion while becoming one of the longest-reigning sovereigns in European history. Containing approximately 0.1960 troy ounces of pure gold and composed of 90% gold and 10% copper for durability, the Hungarian 20 Korona is among the most recognizable gold issues of the late nineteenth century.
