Austrian Empire Franz Joseph I, 1848-1916. Pattern 1 Corona 1893. White Metal Pattern. Laureate head right / Value and date below crown, flanked by laurel branches. 8,75g. Unpublished pattern. Cf. Jaekel 376 (for the standard silver type); cf. KM 2804 (same); cf. Schön. 7 (same). Of exceptional rarity. Uncirculated. Struck in a particular alloy not referenced in the standard references, this pattern coin is intriguing. The type used is that of the 1 Corona 1893. It would therefore appear to be a die trial that was never put into production, as evidenced by the subtle differences in the lettering and in the crown compared with standard examples.
