A little history
The coin was released in 1989 and immediately became popular. Interestingly, this is the first monetary sign, the face value of which is indicated in euros. Initially, copies were produced in two versions: weighing 1 troy ounce, as well as a quarter of an ounce. Both options gained popularity, and in 1991 other monetary units appeared: in 1/2 ounces and in 1/10 ounces.
For more than 30 years of existence, the coin has not changed. Its design is completely the same as that of the first issues.
On the front side of the coin there are several musical instruments. Among them are harp, violin, double bass and others. Above the instruments, in the form of an arch, is the name of the coin. On the back is a large organ standing in the hall of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Over the instrument in large letters is written Republik Österreich, which translates as the Republic of Austria. Also on this side are the sample, weight and year of issue of the money mark. Below in the form of a semicircle is the face value of the coin. Thomas Pesendorfer worked on the design of the presented coin.
