Ancient copper coin of the Austrian Empire during the reign of Emperor Franz I (Franz I, also known as Franz II of the Holy Roman Empire, 1792-1835). Avers: Emperor's profile at right with inscription around (partially visible: "...FRANCISCUS...BOH REX..." - part of "FRANCISCUS I D G AVSTRIAE IMPERATOR / HVNG BOH REX" - Francis I by God's grace Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia). Reverse: Wearable, visible elements of the denomination (probably 1 or 3 Kreuzers - kreuzer), ornament or coat of arms motifs, the inscription is partially erased. Material: Copper with a characteristic green patina (verdigris), indicating a long stay in the soil or wet environment - a typical condition for found coins (detection finding). Condition: worn out (VG/Fine), parts are partially erased due to circulation and corrosion, but the emperor's profile and parts of the inscription are clearly recognizable. The original coin is not cleaned. Historical value: Coin from the era of the Napoleonic Wars and the formation of the Austrian Empire. Collectible rarity for numismatists, especially in the "ground" state. Ideal for a collection of ancient European coins or as an interesting historical artifact. The photo is real, the coin is available one.
