Looking for help with this. I don't know where I got this coin. I am not a collector, nor have I posted here before (only sports cards). Anyway I was looking on eBay for coin info and I saw auctions for the same coin (both sides), but the coins were 10 franc, not 20 like mine. Does anyone have an idea what I have? Is this really a gold 1892 20 franc Austrian coin? It's in a plastic case. I don't have any pics or scans to post, but if you searched eBay for this gold coin, you'd get an idea of what it looks like.

I appreciate any thoughts anyone has on this. Sorry for the lack of more info.

    Thanks for your response. What is a "restrike"? Does this coin have any more value than the value of the gold?

    It didn't list a mintage, so I doubt its worth more than a small premium over melt without pics and telling the condition of it.
