Comment
1866 was the last year of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia under Austrian rule. It would become part of the new Italy following the war of independence and the Austro-Prussian war. The subsequent 2 Fl no longer mentions it. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Florins - Francis Joseph I 1866 coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted in 1866, just a year before the Austro-Prussian War, which would lead to the dissolution of the Austrian Empire and the establishment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Despite this tumultuous time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its silver content and historical significance making it a prized addition to any collection.
