Commentary
Ce type a seulement été fabriqué de 1880 à 1890. Ces pièces furent démonétisées par la loi du 9 août 1892, mais continuèrent néanmoins de circuler dans les pays de l'Union Latine. Cette pratique d'une double valeur faciale sur la même pièce avait pour but de montrer aux populations que la devise nationale était toujours présente tout en permettant l'utilisation d'un étalon commun avec d'autres pays.

Empress Sissi was assassinated in Geneva in 1898. Her nephew François-Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914 with his wife, the detonator of the First World War.
