Offered is a handsome 1879 Florin, struck for the Austrian partition of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and issued under the reign of Franz Joseph, KM#2222. This pleasing example displaying only minor wear, remarkably clean fields, as well as a lovely gunmetal patina (not to mention the good quality of strike for which these are known). A very satisfying silver.
