[QUOTE="jimmybcool, post: 737939, member: 21591"]Hi, thanks for the quick replies. I should have made a better effort to read the text with a magnifier before. This is what I get: Face = franc*ios*id*g*avstri?? imperator Back = lod ??L rex a a 19?5 hvnga? bohem*gal? I am pretty sure the unknown number is either a 1 or some other number with a single line coming down from the halfway point. Since we know the coin is older than 1970 that leaves either 1945 or 1915. It looks more 1915ish. I have no clue what a restrike is. Can you explain? And assuming bullion value only that means since it is about (guessing) half an ounce it's worth about $500-600. Which means my wife can keep and still wear her family heirloom :) If it had been the missing piece to a billion dollar fortune worth a million itself I am afraid we would have had to sell :cool:[/QUOTE]
