Comments:
Franz II of Habsburg (1768-1835) was last Emperor of the Holy Empire before its end (1806). Then he became Franz I Emperor of Austria until 1835.
1799 A, B, C issues (KM#2115.1) are bigger in diameter (30,9-31 mm), thicker (2,9-3 mm) and heavier (16-17 gr) and much scarcer than lighter coins struck in 1800 by the same mints (KM#2115.2).
