There are known 2 different variants of the early years of Vienna 4 Ducats (1854, 1855). The variants differ in two basic signs: laureate wreath on the emperor's head and the end of the emperor's mantle.
1. Laureate wreath on the emperor's head without fruits and the end of the mantle with one fold (see lot Nr. 1)
2. Laureate wreath on the emperor's head with fruits and the end of the mantle with multiple folds (see lot Nr. 2)
The mantle is a little shorter with the year 1855, so the mantle variant with multiple folds looks a little different (see lot Nr. 3)
