The coins of the Austro-Hungarian krone were minted with a different design (but the same technical parameters) in Austria and Hungary.
This section needs additional citations for verification. (October 2015) |
The Austrian coins were minted in Vienna, and came in face values of 1, 2, 10, and 20 heller; and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 100 kronen. The Austrian 100-krone coin is still being minted, with a 1915 mint mark to enable Austrians to take advantage of a grandfather clause in the law regarding private ownership of gold bullion. It is a popular gold bullion coin similar to the Krugerrand.
The Hungarian coins were minted in the famous mint of Körmöcbánya (now Kremnica, Slovakia). Hungarian coins were minted with face values of 1, 2, 10 and 20 fillér; and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 100 korona.
