Austria 2 corona Regular Coinage King Franz Joseph II MS63 PCGS silver coin 1912

The Austria 2 Corona silver coin 1912, certified MS63 by PCGS, is a splendid example of the final years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s coinage under Emperor Franz Joseph I. Struck in Vienna, this issue reflects the grandeur and stability of the Habsburg monarchy. The obverse presents a dignified portrait of Franz Joseph I facing right, with his characteristic beard and laurel wreath, surrounded by the legend “FRANC IOS I D G AVSTR REX BOH GAL ILL ETC ET AP REX HVNG.” This inscription emphasizes his authority as Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, and ruler of multiple crown lands. The reverse showcases the imperial double-headed eagle, wings spread wide, crowned and holding orb and scepter. On its chest rests the heraldic shield of Austria, while the legend “CORONE MDCCCCXII” (1912) and the denomination “2 COR” appear below. Silver coins of this denomination were part of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system introduced in the late 19th century. Today, its high state of preservation and historical value make it a prized collectible for numismatists of European and imperial coinage.
