    Foudn this coin my great grandfather left for my grandma, which she gave to my mom, which she didnt want so she gave it to my brother and I to figure out what to do with.

    I will get pics up asap, but in the meantime, could you guys help me out in trying to attribute this coin, finding its value, and how much gold it has in it.

    obverse: (written around the rim) FRANC IOS I D G IMP AVSTR REX BOH GAL ILL ECT ET AP REX HVNG. Portrait of man

    Reverse: X Corone MDCCCCIX

    The coin is Austrian, but also bears the titles of the Hungarian kingdom.
    The titles say: FRANC(iscus) IOS(ephus) D(ei) G(ratia) IMP(erator) AUSTR(iae) REX BOH(emia) GAL(icia) ILL(yria) ETC(etera) ET AP(ostolicum) REX HUNG(aria), meaning: Franz Jozef, by the grace of God emperor of Austria, king of Bohemia, Galicia, Illyria etc., apostolical king of Hungary.

    The Hungarian gold coins show a standing portrait of the emperor and the titles in Hungarian, not in Latin.
