YeOldeCollector Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 #1 - No. Someone's put it in a vice to make an impression. #2 - A Google search of the visible legend of FRANCISCVS I brings up results for Franciscus I -- 18th/19th century Austrian silver.

YeOldeCollector Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Found out the coin #2 isn't Austrian But an Italian State - Lombardy-Venetia (early 1820s) He was Emperor of Austria, hence the title including the word Austria being used on the coin. Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor but also Franz I, the first Emperor of Austria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
