Answer 1

oh man, my friend, keep a hold of that coin. Some coins from those dates can net you anywhere from 200 - 500 dollars, depending on what it is. If you're having trouble, check out http://www.mycoincollecting.com/ , but be prepared to do some searching, as it lists coins by color, and then expands the search from there. Good luck my friend, and don't get ripped off,  buddy!

Answer 2

You have KM# 441.1 a 1 Krajczar from Hungary. The KB is the mint mark for the Kremnitz mint. It had a mintage of about 12,530,000. In the U.S. it can be usually found in a dealers world coin box for .25-.50. Small denomination coins are usually only collected in the country that minted the coin. We here collect cents but few if any collect U.S. cents in Europe or Asia. The coin would sell better in Hungary. When this coin was minted, Hungary was ruled by Austria. Hope this answers your question.
