Hungarian Gold Coins – the Hungarian Korona 20 is a Classic in Gold Design
The Hungarian 20 Korona gold coin has known an illustrious history since it was first minted in 1892. With a .900 fineness in actual gold content of .1960 Troy ounces, the coin was meant to commemorate the crowning of Emperor Francis Joseph the First of Austria in 1848.

Brother Maximilian was executed in 1867 by Mexican firing squad, his son Rudolf died in 1889 after committing suicide, and Karl Ludwig, his brother died in 1896. Italian anarchists assassinated his wife in 1898.His nephew, Franz Ferdinand is most well known for his assassination in Sarajevo in 1914, which for all intents and purposes, propelled the world into the Great War.
