Ferdinand I was the first son of Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor. Ferdinand I was Emperor of Austria, President of the German Confederation, King of Hungary and Bohemia (as Ferdinand V). It was determined that he was incapable of ruling his empire due to a mental deficiency. Ferdinand I abdicated the throne in 1848 to his nephew, Francis Joseph. He retired to Praque until his death in 1875.

I like this one. Obviously clashed dies. Looks a lot better than the heritage images from the auction I got it at.

for the most part I don't like old coins with what appears to be new toning but I really dig this one.
