Old Austrian coins.

I got it yesterday. I have searched this coin during last 3 years.
It's a copper 6-kreuzer coin of Franz II (Arch-Duke of Austria and emperor of Holy Roman Empire). This coin was minted at Vienna MINT in 1800. It was the single release.

I had these on another thread, but I did not get a clear answer on them.

Siberian Man, what do you think? Is the second one bronze or billon?

 

Try to clean up your coin with tooth paste. A tooth paste is a good substance for a cleaning of silver.

 

An old Austrian coin made it into the 1990's American television series
"The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles", also known as
"The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones".

In the episode "Masks of Evil", a split Austrian coin is used to identify secret agents.



The episode is set in Transylvania Romania during World War I
Young Indiana and his partner identify themselves to an innkeeper using split halves of an Austrian coin.
In this picture, the pieces of the coin joined together.

An example of the real coin:
