Commentary


Ce type a seulement été fabriqué de 1880 à 1890. Ces pièces furent démonétisées par la loi du 9 août 1892, mais continuèrent néanmoins de circuler dans les pays de l'Union Latine. Le millésime 1887 semble plus courant que les autres, il fait d’ailleurs l’objet d’un numéro à part dans Friedberg.

Historical background


HUNGARY - KINGDOM OF HUNGARY - FRANCIS-JOSEPH I

(8/06/1867-21/11/1916)

François-Joseph I (18/08/1830-21/11/1916) was the son of Archduke François Charles and Sophie of Bavaria. He succeeded his uncle Ferdinand I of Austria in 1848 in the midst of the European revolution. His throne wavers in Hungary, Bohemia in Milan and in Venice. It is with authority that he restores order and will reign over the destinies of "Mitteleuropa" for 68 years. He is king of Hungary from 1867, it is the Dual Monarchy. In 1854 he married Elisabeth of Bavaria (1837-1898), better known as Sissi. Their only son Rodolphe (1858-1890) committed suicide with his mistress in 1890 in Mayerling. Empress Sissi was assassinated in Geneva in 1898. Her nephew François-Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914 with his wife, the detonator of the First World War. The old emperor died in 1916 before the disintegration of his empire two years later.
