Offered here is an 1885 Austria 1 Kreuzer in copper from the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I, struck at the Vienna mint (no mintmark). One side shows the crowned double-headed imperial eagle holding a sword and orb, with the Habsburg arms on its breast and the legend K.K. OESTERREICHISCHE SCHEIDEMUENZE. The other side shows a large 1 above the date 1885 inside an oak wreath tied with a bow.
Grade: Uncirculated (descriptive grade, not certified). Satiny luster remains across both sides, and the eagle's feathers, the crowns, the shield details and every leaf of the wreath are sharp with no wear on the high points. Color: Red-Brown, with coppery orange-red luster showing most on the eagle side and a deeper chocolate brown with violet tints on the wreath side.
Condition notes: a few scattered darker toning flecks and light marks typical of an uncirculated copper coin. No rim damage, holes, bends or cleaning seen. Please see all the photos, which are the best description.
