(25cm)Dresden mark with lamb for 1887.Duchess Elisabeth in Bavaria, was Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary from her marriage to Emperor Franz Joseph I on 24 April 1854 until her assassination in 1898. On September 10th 1898, Empress Elisabeth was assassinated by Luigi Lucheni, an Italian anarchist.

She was obsessively concerned about her beauty and spent several hours a day just to groom her knee-long hair.
