Mint

Münze Österreich, Vienna, Austria (1194-date)

Comments

This coin was minted in Vienna and not in Budapest as it was believed earlier. It is issued for Ustasha emigrants in Janka-Puszta in Hungary. Minting of the coin was paid by Ustasha club from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Therefore, this is private fantasy issue.

There are also few reports of this coin made of zinc (X# 1c), but it is considered to be a later counterfeit.
