The dual denomination 20 francs 8 florins is one of the many varied denominations of gold coin which Austria has produced in its long history. Between 1870 and 1892 Austria produced two different coin types, each of which carried face values in two different monetary systems, this is because these coins were "trade coinage" intended for international use as bullion coins.20 Francs 8 Florins These were issued between 1870 and 1891, but with official re-strikes dated 1892 being issued indefinitely.
