By 1924, Austria was issuing bronze coinage almost as a formality — the 200 Kronen denomination existed only because hyperinflation had rendered lower values arithmetically absurd. The krone itself was already doomed; the schilling reform arrived the following year, with 10,000 Kronen exchanged for a single Schilling, effectively erasing the entire denomination from monetary relevance overnight.
Surviving pieces in mint state are not especially difficult to find, largely because many were set aside before they had any practical purchasing power worth spending.
