<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 71934, member: 669&quot;]Hi atmos, and welcome to the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>The legend on your coin, &quot;Franc.Ios.I D.G. Austr. Rex Boh. Gal. Ill. etc. et Ap. Rex Hung&quot;, translates to &quot;Francis (aka Franz) Joseph I, by the Grace of God, Emperor of Austria, King of Bohemia, Galicia and Illyria and King of Hungary.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the 19th Century volume of the Krause &amp; Mishler Standard Catalog of World Coins, that legend was used on Austrian coins.&nbsp; The bust does match pictures of various coins from Franz Joseph&#039;s reign, including the 20 Kreuzer 2.6667g .500 silver coin (KM#2212) which is the same size as yours, but was last minted in 1872.&nbsp; However, the reverse does not match any 19th Century Austrian coin pictured in Krause.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I get a chance I&#039;ll hunt through the listings for some of the other countries formerly part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and see if I can find something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
