<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 4304671, member: 77413&quot;]From Wikipedia, I have this small nugget of information about the coin above and the one posted here. </p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>The <b>Krone</b> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural" rel="nofollow">pl.</a> Kronen) was the currency of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria" rel="nofollow">Austria</a> (then known as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_German-Austria" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_German-Austria" rel="nofollow">German-Austria</a>) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liechtenstein" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liechtenstein" rel="nofollow">Liechtenstein</a> after the dissolution of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Hungarian_Empire" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Hungarian_Empire" rel="nofollow">Austro-Hungarian Empire</a> (1919) until the introduction of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_schilling" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_schilling" rel="nofollow">Schilling</a> (1925) and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_franc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_franc" rel="nofollow">Franken</a>, respectively.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5"><b>Coins</b></font></p><p>Coins included 20 and 100 Krone gold coins minted with the same standard as their <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Hungarian_krone" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Hungarian_krone" rel="nofollow">Austro-Hungarian krone</a> counterparts.</p><p><br /></p><p>To ease the introduction of the new currency, 100, <b>200</b> and 1000 Krone coins were minted right before 1925 with the same parameters as the equivalent Groschen coins (1, <b>2</b> and 10 Groschen) that replaced them.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Here, then, is the 2 Groschen that replaced the 200 Kronen. I liked the first design better, without having the numeral reduced in size to make room for &quot;Groschen&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1095246[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
