The 10 Francs/4 Florins coin was a dual denomination coin, originally struck at the Münze Österreich (Austrian Mint) in Vienna between 1870 and 1891, for use across the Latin Monetary Union. A restrike was later issued, dated 1892.
The obverse of these coins features a right-facing laureate bust of Emperor Franz Joseph I, attributed to engraver Josef Tautenhayn, with an inscription that reads 'FRANCISCVS · IOSEPHVS · I · D · G · C · IMPERATOR · ET · REX ·'.
The reverse of 1892 restrike 4 Florin coins features the double-headed Austrian eagle with the words 'IMPERIVM AVSTRIACVM' above, the two denominations on either side and the date (1892) below.
While the original issue of these dual-denomination coins was made between 1870 and 1891, these 1892 coins are a later restrike, replicating the design of their earlier counterparts, intended as a bullion coin.
1892 Austrian Ten Francs 4 Florins coins are struck in 3.2 grams of .900 (90%) gold and offer an actual gold weight of 0.09333 troy ounces (2.9 grams). These coins are the same size and composition as a French 10 Francs gold coin.
