The obverse features the young bust of Ferencz Jozsef with the legend &quot;Csaszar&quot; (emperor). The reverse features the small coat of arms of Hungary with two angels supporting the Holy Crown of Saint Stephen and the legend &quot;Magyar Orszag Ap. Kiralya&quot; (King of the Country of Hungary).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/HU1FT1869KB_OBV.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/HU1FT1869KB_REV.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>20 Francs/8 Forint 1880KB</b></p><p><b>KM# 467 (1880-1890) Reeded Edge</b></p><p><b>0.900 Gold 6.45g 21mm</b></p><p><b>NGC MS64</b></p><p><br /></p><p>This dual denomination coin (20 Francs/8 Forint) is the second of three types issued between 1870 and 1892. This type (KM# 467) features an updated, slightly older bust of King Jozsef Ferencz on the obverse, with the same reverse as the first type (KM# 455). The coat of arms on the reverse is the early middle coat of arms of the Kingdom of Hungary, in use from 1867-1882. The central shield is the small coat of arms of Hungary, surrounded by the coat of arms for (clockwise from the top left) Croatia, Dalmatia, Transylvania, and Slavonia. The arms are capped by the Holy Crown of Saint Stephen. The legend of the reverse reads &quot;Magyar Kiralysag&quot; (Kingdom of Hungary).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/HU8FT1880KB_OBV.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/HU8FT1880KB_REV.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>20 Francs/8 Forint 1891KB</b></p><p><b>KM# 477 (1890-1892) Reeded Edge</b></p><p><b>0.900 Gold 6.45g 21mm</b></p><p><b>NGC MS63</b></p><p><br /></p><p>This dual denomination coin (20 Francs/8 Forint) is the third of three types issued between 1870 and 1892.
