Hungary Millennium of the Conques 1 Korona .835 Silver Coin

The Millenium Crown Medal was produced in Körmöcbány in 1896, and on the side of the denomination, next to the circular inscription, there is a profile portrait of Ferenc József, Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, wearing the Holy Crown. The ruler minted the coin for the Hungarians to commemorate the thousand-year conquest of the country. Filip Edmund Beck, the engraver of the hammers used, depicted the conquering Hungarian ancestors on the reverse side. The circulation commemorative coin was made from silver plates weighing 5 grams each and 83.5% pure, and the edge inscription was decorated with the inscription "I TRUST IN ANCIENT VIRTUE" which was used on precious metal currency at the time. The original function of the security border inscription is a more stylish replacement of the racquets in order to make the so-called circumcision can be established. If the circular inscription is not visible, it is almost certain that it was filed around due to the falling silver or that it has worn off and has already lost its weight. Due to the relatively low edition of one million pieces, not all of them made it into their collections. The highest selling price known to us was HUF 300,000 on 27.01.2022! The subject of the auction was also an original contemporary coin holder box, made in several colors by the Károly Dávid és Fia Box Factory in Budapest, in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
