10 Kronen: Franz Joseph I. 18 Aug 1830 - 21 Nov 1916

Description

• Issue Dates : 1 January 1908 and 1913
• Designed by : Koloman Moser (1868-1918) and F. Schirnböck
• Print Process : Typo 1h - 35h ; Engraved 50h - 10k

The 1 - 35 heller values are printed on chalky paper in 1908, and unsurfaced paper in 1913. The difference in shade is perhaps easier to identify both issues. For the later 1910 issue of similar design see Austria-Empire 1910 80th birthday issue.
