<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 742881, member: 4703&quot;]You have what is known as a &quot;restrike&quot;, which is a coin struck from original dies, but not for circulation.&nbsp; Austria has a long history of producing restrikes, including the silver 1780 Maria Therese Thaler which is still being produced today.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 100 Corona coin, KM#2819, featuring a bust of Austrian Emperor/Hungarian King Franz Josef on the obverse and the Austrian crowned double-head eagle on the reverse, was 33.8753g of .900 fine gold, with an actual gold weight of .9803 oz., worth about $1,125 as bullion at current gold prices.&nbsp; More than 25,000 were struck from 1909-14, and according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins an unspecified number of restrikes were made, dated 1915.&nbsp; In XF grade, the 1909-14 coins are valued at less than current bullion value in the 2008 35th Edition.&nbsp; Restrikes are stated to be worth a 2% premium over bullion value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
