COIN HISTORY:

FRANCIS II - AUSTRIA 

Coin Minted in 1798

Francis II, (Florence, 12 February 1768 – Vienna, 2 March 1835) was the last Holy Roman Emperor, ruling from 1792 until 6 August 1806, when he dissolved the Empire after the disastrous defeat of the Third Coalition by Napoleon at the Battle of Austerlitz. As the leader of the large multi-ethnic Habsburg Empire, he led Austria into the French Revolutionary Wars and was defeated by Napoleon. He again fought against France during the Second and Third Coalition, when after meeting crushing defeat at Austerlitz, he had to agree to the Treaty of Pressburg, which effectively dissolved the Holy Roman Empire, weakening the Austrian Empire and reorganizing present-day Germany under a Napoleonic imprint.
