1 Forint - Francis Joseph I Selmecbánya, silver

Selmecbánya — now Banská Štiavnica in Slovakia — housed one of the most technically advanced mints in the Habsburg Empire, operating under the Hungarian crown from the Compromise of 1867. This piece was struck there during a transitional decade for Austro-Hungarian silver coinage, as the dual monarchy was navigating the aftermath of the 1873 Vienna stock market crash and the broader European shift away from bimetallic monetary systems.

The Adamo M15.1 designation distinguishes this as a pattern or presentation strike rather than a circulation issue — Selmecbánya produced relatively few such pieces before the mint's eventual closure in 1887.
