Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Gulden - Franz Josef I (Pattern) 1855 from Austrian Empire made of Gold (.900) weighing 13.55g is that it was designed by the Austrian mint's chief engraver, Joseph Daniel Böhm. Böhm was a renowned artist and engraver who was responsible for creating many of the designs used on Austrian coins during the 19th century. His work on the Pattern 20 Gulden coin features a detailed portrait of Emperor Franz Josef I on the obverse side, and a beautiful depiction of the Austrian Empire's coat of arms on the reverse side. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the power and prosperity of the Austrian Empire during Franz Josef's reign.
