In [\textit{S. M. Finashin}, the author and \textit{O. Y. Viro}, Lect Notes Math. 1346, 157-198 (1988; Zbl 0659.57009)] an infinite family of smooth (real) surfaces \(F(k)\) embedded in \(S^4\) was constructed which has the following properties: (i) The knottings \((S^4, F(k))\) and \((S^4, F(l))\) are not diffeomorphic for \(k \neq l\). (ii) \(F(k) = \# 10 (\mathbb{R} P^2)\) (iii) \(\pi_1 (S^4 - F(k)) = \mathbb{Z}_2\) (iv) The normal Euler number (with local coefficients) of \(F(k)\) in \(S^4\) is 16. It was proved that the number of homeomorphism types of these knottings is finite and it was conjectured that they are all homeomorphic to the standard embedding \((S^4, F)\) with normal Euler number 16. The main result of this note is an affirmative answer to this conjecture. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0836.57012].
