Austria 1 florin Franz Joseph I Coinage KM-2219 MS63 PCGS silver coin 1859 A

The Austria 1 Florin silver coin 1859, struck in Vienna and graded MS63 by PCGS, is a highly desirable example of 19th-century European coinage. Issued under Emperor Franz Joseph I, it reflects both the artistry of the Austrian Mint and the grandeur of the Habsburg Empire. The obverse features a fine right-facing portrait of the young Franz Joseph I, crowned with a laurel wreath as a symbol of victory and imperial authority. Around the bust runs the Latin legend “FRANC IOS I D G AVSTRIAE IMPERATOR” (Franz Joseph I, by the Grace of God, Emperor of Austria). The reverse proudly displays the imperial double-headed eagle with outstretched wings, crowned with the Austrian royal regalia. On its chest lies the ornate shield with detailed heraldry of the monarchy. The eagle clutches the sword of power and the imperial orb, while inscriptions around the rim include “HVNG BOH LOMB ET VEN GAL LOD ILL REX A 1859” and denomination “1 FL.” This florin embodies the political and cultural strength of the Austro-Hungarian realm. Its state of preservation and certified quality make it an exceptional acquisition for collectors of silver and European historical coins.
