love it!
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
You have a great eye for wonderful coins!
Very nice crown!
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

Just because I can't see a denomination on either side, I've looked it up on Krause. I've used the KM 2233 reference, where there is indeed a two florin, (1872-1892) that has nothing in common with the one posted.
Clearly I'm missing a few things : where is the denomination and where exactly is it in Krause?

Great catch Dimitri - its the KM-XM5.

There was no catch Z. The reason I did not mention the KM-XM5 is because I simply cannot find it in my 6th edition..... I've even looked through the entire Austrian section in case there was an image of it, but no luck. I should probably email you to avoid further embarrassment.

A lovely piece! Well done Zohar! I especially like the jugate portraiture.
For those seeking a reference, the "X" in the catalog number indicates it can be found not in Krause Standard Catalog, but rather in Krause Unusual World Coins. This catalog Krause describes as containing "non-official coin issues from around the world.”
I am not familiar with the details of the issuance of this piece (commemorative coin sans denomination or medallic presentation) and would welcome any information that Zohar or others may be able to share.
I believe this is considered medallic/commemorative. These do come nice relative to trade coins.

Nice coin!

coin or medal? I see 2 Florin/Gulden is that a monetary value in order to make it a coin? Certain sets in the registry won't allow medals.
This is an official coin issue.
