Which one of these large gold coins? [solved]

If I reach a goal in my life, I will celebrate it. For the next one, should I buy:
-100 francs france (33g gold)
-100 corona austria habsburg (33g gold)
-Something else? (worth 1000-1200€)

I will buy something, with a bit under 1200€. Should I buy one of these two gold coins or something else (Pattern coin or other rare coin?) And also, where should I buy it from?

Is gold price falling?
If I would buy a pattern coin, what one? The price should be 1000-1200€ and the years 1800-1917 would be the best for me.

-100 corona austria habsburg (33g gold)

I think all of those classic gold coins from the belle epoch are great.

Gold prices are not falling. They are currently stable in € and rising in $ due to some shifts in monetary regimes across the globe.

Stock markets are rising rapidly in the US and Asia based on higher expextations on growth, dampening demand for precious metals. Should a fierce correction come (which might take years) I would not be surprised gold and silver would rise dramatically on fears of negative interest rates.

@Monnien1 I might be personally biased towards the French 100 Franc coins Even if you're considering the bigger Napoleon III or Génie types issued prior to 1914, consider the smaller 100 Francs issued 1929-36, it has a great design.

​I usually only collect coins from 1800-1917. These coins somehow seem attractive for example I would not buy a coin minted in 1918 or 1799. I guess this is because my own country got independence in 1917. But I am going for either the 100 francs or the 100 corona. (I am not so sure about the corona if it is minted after 1917, I probably wont buy it)

So I guess I will then once get the 100 francs. If everything works out and it is under 1200 (or 1300) It does not really matter. Its also a damn beautiful coin!

The Finnish patterns cost too much probably. There is a few:

2 penniä 1866 costs at least 2000€ in the worst possible condition. Its very rare and wanted. Often sold for over 6000€...If someone sells it!
1863 set coin I would not even think about these. Probably last time any of these was sold was over ten years ago...
20 penniä 1866 was sold for 21 thousand €. Nope.
I guess there is no cheaper patterns in Finland (if not counting the 1500€ 1918 5 penniä iron)
I could always also go for a Finnish old rouble banknote, a Russian smaller gold coin, many smaller gold coins, platinum 3 rouble, japanese gold, prussian gold...other gold, but I guess I am going to get that one? I say the 1850s one.

​Oh la la, cette fois c'est moi qu'il s'est trompé. Merci pour l'explication.

But it was a beautiful era. Not only numismatically, but also in many other aspects of art. I feel very fortunate that the neighbourhood I live in is from that era. But all in all I'm not nostalgic. Times have never been better than now and it's likely to improve in the future.

Monninen, you must have quite a budget. Hope you find a nice gold coin.
