Set of 10 Aluminum LARP Replica Coins Emperor Franz Joseph I
Historical Legacy and Monarch's Symbolism
These replicas bear the likeness and titles of one of the longest-reigning monarchs in history, the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I, during the early period of his reign around 1850. The original silver thalers and golden ducats bearing his mint mark circulated throughout the vast Habsburg Monarchy. With these coins, you can reward imperial soldiers in your games, pay for safe passage along merchant trails, or use them as a glittering treasure hidden inside a wooden chest.
What Do the Latin Inscriptions on the Coin Mean?
On both sides of the coin, you will find rich Latin abbreviations reflecting the immense extent of the empire at the time:
- Obverse (front with portrait): FRANC IOS I D G AUSTR IMP HV G BOH REX. This translates to: Franz Joseph I, by the grace of God Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, Galicia, and Bohemia. At the bottom is the small letter A, denoting the Vienna Mint.
- Reverse (back with eagle): REX LOMB ET VEN DALM GAL LOD ILL A A 1850. This translates to: King of Lombardy and Venetia, Dalmatia, Galicia, Lodomeria, Illyria, Archduke of Austria. The dominant feature is the imperial double-headed eagle holding a sword and an orb.

Production Origins and Coin Care
We would like to emphasize that this is a high-quality product from the Czech manufacturer Mincovna Dukát. The stated parameters may vary slightly from piece to piece due to the manual production method, which grants each coin its own minor patina and uniqueness. While aluminum is very light and comfortable to carry in a pocket, it is a softer metal. Therefore, avoid storing the coins together with hard steel objects (such as keys or knives) to prevent unwanted deep scratching of the relief.
To accompany this coin set, we highly recommend purchasing a sturdy leather coin pouch from our selection, keeping your imperial treasure completely safe and ready for every upcoming adventure.
