<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1265787, member: 25357&quot;]Great contest Matt! I&#039;ve really enjoyed viewing and reading about the many cool coins on this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is an AustroHungarian 100 Corona Gold coin. This is my favorite coin because I inherited it from my Grand-Father who was Hungarian, but was actually born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1914. For me, the Image of Emperor Franz Joseph on the obverse, and the double headed Austrian Eagle on the reverse evoke memories of a time long gone by; one of Kingdoms, Empires and Monarchs that crumbled in the wake of World War I as they gave way to modern, democratic forms of government. It was the assasination of Franz Joseph&#039;s son, the Arch-Duke Franz Ferdinand, that sparked WWI in 1914. This coin speaks to me as to how much the world has changed in the last 100 years, and of course it reminds me of my Grandfather.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
