The 100 Corona denomination joined the 10 and 20 Corona coins in 1908 and was introduced to mark the 60th anniversary of Franz Joseph I’s reign as the Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary. The coins were minted between 1908 and 1914, with the 1915 date mark chosen in 1975 by the Austrian Mint as a commemorative mark.
On the obverse of all 1915 100 Corona Austrian Gold Coins, you’ll find the left-profile bust of Emperor Franz Joseph I.

Joseph I oversaw the rapid expansion and growth of the empire, but also its entrance into World War I. That conflict, though he was dead before its conclusion, led to the dissolution of the empire.
The reverse of all 1915 100 Corona Austrian Gold Coin Restrikes includes the crowned double-headed eagle of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The bird holds the heraldic shield of the Hapsburg Dynasty, the ruling family of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
