| Additional information |
The Příbram mine, located in Bohemia, was one of the most productive silver operations in Central Europe during the nineteenth century and periodically supplied bullion directly to the Vienna mint. This florin was struck specifically from Příbram silver — a so-called "Bergwerksmedaille" or mine issue — a practice that served both as a record of provenance and a form of institutional prestige for the mining authority. Such pieces were not struck for general circulation.
The X# catalog prefix confirms its status outside the regular coinage series, placing it among Austrian notgeld, tokens, and special strikes rather than the standard crown coinage run.
