Coins of the Austro-Hungarian krone
Austro-Hungarian krone coins were minted with different design (but the same technical parameters) in Austria and Hungary.
Coins of Austria
The Austrian coins were minted in Vienna. Denominated coins for Austria: 1, 2, 10 and 20 Heller; 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 100 Corona (the Latin form of the name was used on coins). The Austrian 100 corona is still being minted, with a 1915 mint mark to enable Austrians to take advantage of a grandfather clause in the law regarding private ownership of gold bullion. It is a popular gold bullion coin similar to the Krugerrand.
Coins of Hungary
The Hungarian coins were minted in the famous mint of Körmöcbánya (now Kremnica, Slovakia). Denominated coins for Hungary: 1, 2, 10 and 20 fillér; 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 100 korona.
