Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Kronen - Johann II (Pattern) 1898 from Liechtenstein made of Gold (.900) weighing 3.387 g is that it was designed by the artist and engraver, Ferdinand Schuster. Schuster was a renowned artist and engraver who worked for the Vienna Mint and was responsible for designing many coins and medals during his career. His design for the Pattern 10 Kronen coin features a portrait of Prince Johann II of Liechtenstein on the obverse side, and the coat of arms of Liechtenstein on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1898 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential coin design. It is made of gold (.900) and weighs 3.387 grams, making it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
