This specimen was lot 2750 in Sincona sale 43 (Zürich, October 2017), where it sold for 140 CHF (about US$167 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Franz Joseph I. 1848-1916 Gulden 1863 E. Karlsburg. Vorzüglich. (empire of Austria, Francis Joseph I, 1848-1916, gulden of 1863, Karlsburg mint. Extremely fine.)"
The florin, about the size of a half dollar, was introduced in Austria in 1857 in a feeble attempt to decimalize the currency. It was accompanied by a quarter florin and a double florin and the half thaler was dropped. The mélange of billon small change was reorganized into twenty, ten, five, one and 5/10 kreuzer. This system obtained, tho the thaler and ducat continued, until another reform introduced the corona in 1892. This type was struck 1857-65 at Vienna (A), Kremnitz (B), Venice (V), Milan (M) and Karlsburg (E, shown here); this is a scarce date.
