While not of crown size, this Gulden is of great interest as a scarce commemorative issue. Oddly, I found this PCGS graded piece on a low key European auction. Highly sought after by collectors of 19th century decimal coinage. For those interested in mineralogy, some more information may be found here - Pribram Mines
1875. AUSTRIA. Franz Joseph (1848-1916) Pribram Gulden (Florin). 29mm, 12.31gr. J. 365; Müseler 6/44. Y-17. KMX-M2. Rare commemorative marking the exploration of the Adalbert mine in Pribram reaching 1000 meters depth. Mintage of 8,000. Obv: Laureate head right. Rev: Slovak commemorative legend surrounds wreath UPOMINKA NA DOSAZENOU KOLMOU HLOUBKU 1000 METRU, with same in German equivalent in wreath. Edge shows the standard coinage motto, incuse VIRIBVS VNITIS - By United Strengths. Magnificent luster for this key coin of the entire Austrian commemorative series. PCGS MS-66+, likely the finest known.
