History Of The 10 Francs 4 Florins Coin

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, with a restrike issued dated 1892. The joint denomination was influenced by the principles of the Latin Monetary Union, which sought to integrate the currency of some participating states, including France and Austria-Hungary. 

Portrait Of Emperor Franz Joseph I

The obverse of these coins features a right-facing laureate bust of Emperor Franz Joseph I, attributed to engraver Josef Tautenhayn, surrounded by an inscription that reads 'FRANCISCVS · IOSEPHVS · I · D · G · C · IMPERATOR · ET · REX ·'.

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. They were intended for collectors and investors.

How Much Gold Is In A 1892 Austrian 10 Francs?

1892 Austrian Ten Francs 4 Florins coins are struck in 3.23 grams of .900 (90%) gold and offer an actual gold weight of 0.09333 troy ounces (2.91 grams). These restrike coins measure 19 millimetres in diameter and are about a millimetre thick. These coins are the same size and composition as a French 10 Francs gold coin.

Investing In European Bullion Coins

These Austro-Hungarian coins are generally found in good condition, but they are bullion coins so they are likely to show bag marks and other signs of wear and handling. As investment gold they are VAT exempt, offering a key benefit for stackers.
