| Description |
For thousands of years, kings and emperors have
adorned their coinage with symbols of power and
majesty. This token, minted by the emperor
Franz Josef during the light of the Hapsburg
Dynasty, continues in that long tradition. On one
side, the emperor is shown wearing state robes,
carrying the orb and scepter; on the other,
winged angels support a coat of arms topped by
an imperial crown. Such a coin evokes the
glittering splendors of Vienna, the last golden
moment when Europe teetered on the brink of
the modern age but still looked to its glorious
past.
