A new numismatic catalog entitled “ is coming off the press soon.“Austro-Hungarian crowns 1892-1918 and ducats of Franz Joseph I” by author Zlatko Viščević. This is the first catalog of its type on our market, conceived as a practical and clear guide for collectors, numismatists, dealers, and all enthusiasts of Austro-Hungarian numismatics.
The catalogue covers the coins and paper money of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy from the introduction of the krone currency in 1892 to the end of the Monarchy in 1918. It includes regular issues of the Austrian and Hungarian parts of the Monarchy: hellers, fillers, silver coins, gold coins, and joint banknotes. As a special supplement, it also includes gold ducats bearing the image of Emperor Franz Joseph I, which have held an important place in Austro-Hungarian numismatics for decades.
The special value of the catalog lies in the fact that it provides current market prices and auction results for key specimens and years. In a time of inflation, rising precious metal prices, and strong changes in the numismatic market, such an overview is particularly useful for a more realistic valuation. The prices in the catalog are given as orientational values, taking into account literature, auction results, and market trends.
The catalog is conceived as a pocket-sized edition measuring 11.25 × 20 cm, with a total of 114 full-color pages. The coins are shown in their original size, while the banknotes are proportionally reduced for better clarity. The catalog section is organized by denominations, types, and variants, along with technical data, catalog numbers, descriptions, grades of preservation, and values.
The contents of the catalog include an introduction to Austria-Hungary and the crown monetary system, an explanation of how to use the catalog, abbreviations, degrees of rarity and preservation, a presentation of coins and banknotes, precious metal values, auction results, and the catalog section for Austria and Hungary. Special chapters are dedicated to ducats and medallic issues.
This catalog seeks to fill the gap in domestic numismatic literature. Instead of an extensive scientific work, it offers users a clear, practical, and quickly usable handbook for the identification and basic valuation of Austro-Hungarian currency. It will certainly be useful to anyone dealing with crowns, the ducats of Franz Joseph I, and Austro-Hungarian currency in general.
The catalog price is 15 EUR + shipping costs. A commercial discount is possible for larger quantities.
