The Austria 1 Florin silver coin 1861, struck in Vienna under Emperor Franz Joseph I, is an outstanding historical collectible certified MS62 by PCGS. On the obverse, the coin features a detailed right-facing portrait of Franz Joseph I, adorned with a laurel wreath symbolizing victory and power. The legend around the bust reads “FRANC IOS I D G AVSTRIAE IMPERATOR” (Franz Joseph I, by the Grace of God, Emperor of Austria). The reverse depicts the impressive double-headed eagle of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with spread wings, imperial crowns, orb, and sword. At the eagle’s chest is the Austrian shield with detailed heraldry. Surrounding inscriptions include “HVNG BOH LOMB ET VEN GAL LOD ILL REX A 1861” and the denomination “1 FL.” This florin belongs to the coinage reform of mid-19th century Austria, reflecting the unification of diverse regions under Habsburg rule. Its numismatic value lies not only in its historical symbolism but also in its survival with sharp details and silver brilliance. A true gem for collectors of European monarchic and 19th-century coins.
