This specimen was lot 1666 in Künker sale 352 (Osnabrück, Germany, September 2021), where it sold for €200 (about US$278 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"KAISERREICH ÖSTERREICH, Franz Josef I. 1848-1916. 10 Kronen 1896, Wien. Feingold. GOLD. Sehr schön. (empire of Austria-Hungary, Francis Joseph I, 1848-1916, ten corona of 1896, Vienna mint. Very fine.)"
This type was struck 1892-97, 1905-06. It accompanied a similar gold twenty corona. This date is not rare but the later dates are common enough that they trade for bullion.
Recorded mintage: 211,000.
Specification: 3.39 g, 0.900 fine gold, this specimen 3,05 g in gold.
