This specimen was lot 2757 in Sincona sale 43 (Zürich, October 2017), where it sold for 4,000 CHF (about US$4,773 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Franz Joseph I. 1848-1916 Gulden 1867 E. Karlsburg. Von grösster Seltenheit. Sehr schön. (empire of Austria, Francis Joseph I, 1848-1916, gulden of 1867, Karlsburg mint. Of the highest rarity, Very 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 1867-72 at Vienna (A), Kremnitz (B) and Karlsburg (E, shown here); this is a rare date.
