<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3792820, member: 46237&quot;]Recently I&#039;ve been focusing on completing the sets of minor types from the Hungarian periods I collect, and I have just completed the set of 10 fillér types.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 10 fillér denomination was introduced in 1892 when Austria-Hungary adopted the korona monetary system (gold standard), and the denomination was produced until 1997. The 10 fillér set consists of 11 business strike types and one proof-only type, though I also have two (or three) patterns for this denomination to share here as well.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><font size="6">Classic 10 Fillér Types</font></b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>The Austro-Hungarian Compromise</b></p><p><b>Austro-Hungarian Korona (1892-1916)</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hungary 1894KB Nickel 10 Fillér</b></p><p>NGC MS66</p><p>KM-482 (1892-1914)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1013346[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A beautiful workhorse coin with enough dates of high mintage that it is fairly easy to find a gem example for multiple years.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hungary 1916KB Nickel-Brass 10 Fillér</b></p><p>NGC MS63</p><p>KM-494 (1914-1916)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1013347[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A three-year type that is tougher to find in uncirculated grades.

Even finding an uncirculated details example was extremely challenging. While this type is listed as 1915-1918, examples dated 1915 and 1916 were struck in 1917 using older dies from KM-494.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>The Kingdom of Hungary</b></p><p><b>Hungarian Korona (1920-1922)</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hungary 1920KB Iron 10 Fillér</b></p><p>NGC MS65</p><p>KM-496 (1920)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1013349[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a brief post-war period of a couple of years before the Pengő system, where the Korona system was still in place, but not much was produced in the way of coinage. This transitional type is identical to the earlier 1915-1918 iron type, but it was struck again two governments later, and so I (and most Hungarian collectors) count it as a separate type. Unlike the earlier iron issues, decent examples can be found of the 1920 one-year type, though finding this MS65 example was extremely difficult.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>The Kingdom of Hungary</b></p><p><b>Hungarian Pengő (1926-1945)</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hungary 1926BP Nickel 10 Fillér</b></p><p>NGC MS63</p><p>KM-507 (1926-1940)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1013362[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The Horthy era 10 fillér.
