Comment
Very similar to the previous, portrait slowly ageing, thicker sideburns.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Florin - Francis Joseph I 1872-1875 coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Francis Joseph I, who ruled the Austrian Empire from 1848 to 1916. During his reign, the empire underwent significant political and economic changes, including the abolition of feudalism and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. Despite these changes, the coin remained a symbol of stability and continuity, with its design remaining largely unchanged throughout Francis Joseph's reign.
