This specimen was lot 1765 in Sincona sale 73 (Zurich, November 2021), where it sold for 7,000 CHF (about US$9,006 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE - AUSTRIA. Franz Joseph I. 1848-1916. 20 Kronen 1912, Wien. Schwartz. Selten. NGC MS63.'' (empire of [[Austria]]-Hungary, Francis Joseph I, 1848-1916, twenty korona of 1912, Vienna mint. Rare, graded NGC MS63.)"</blockquote> This denomination, issued 1892-1916, superseded the eight forint and was about 5% heavier. This type was struck 1909-16 but 1910 is the only common date. It varies from the prior [[Austria 1909 20 corona Fr-508|Fr-508]] by having the engraver's signature included and obverse legend uninterrupted.
