Hungarian Gold Coins
Hungary has minted a number of different types of gold coins, including dual denominated Eight Forints Twenty Francs. These are identical in specifications to the Austrian 8 Florin 20 Francs, but with Hungarian designs in place of the Austrian ones.This was because Hungary was, for a long time, part of the Hapsburg's Austrian Empire.
All the coins listed below feature Ferenc József on their obverse.
