100 Francs 10 Corona Franz Joseph I

This piece belongs to a long-running series of miniaturized gold reproductions issued under Niger's nominal authority — a licensing arrangement common among small-denomination sovereign issuers with no meaningful domestic coin circulation. Franz Joseph I ruled Austria-Hungary from 1848 until his death in 1916, and the 10 Corona type it references dates to the early twentieth century, produced in vast quantities as a trade coin. Niger's involvement is purely administrative; the dies and distribution originate entirely outside the country.
