Austria. Franz Joseph I. Corona 1914 / MS62 (No reserve price)
This is a 1914 Austrian 1-corona silver coin, graded MS 62 (Uncirculated, Grade 62) by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation). It is a classic circulating coin from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Issuer: Austro-Hungary (then Austria)
Year: 1914
Face Value: 1 Corona
Grading: NGC MS 62
Obverse (Portrait): Profile portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary, surrounded by the Latin inscription "FRANC. IOH. AVSTR. REX BOH. GAL. ETC. ET AP. REX", meaning "Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria, King of Bohemia, King of Galicia, etc., and King of Hungary".
Reverse: The number "1" (representing 1 corona) is in the center, above which is the Austro-Hungarian crown, flanked by olive branches, and the year "1914" is inscribed at the bottom. 1914 marked the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (the same year the Sarajevo assassination triggered World War I), and this coin was a circulating currency of the late Austro-Hungarian Empire.
