From October 2016, the Austrian Mint issued a series of collector coins with animal motifs. These 3-euro copper animal coins were issued quarterly from October 2016 to 2019, each with a mintage of 50,000. The special feature of these 3 euro coins: The animal motif is highlighted in color and glows in the dark.
The Austrian Mint 's 3-euro animal coins are ideal for beginners and small investors. Due to the high existing demand, a price increase can be expected in the future.
While the motif side of the 3 euro coins is dedicated to a different animal for each issue, the value side of the collector's coin features all the animals in the coin series, depicted together in silhouettes. The special feature, however, is that the main motif of the coins shimmers mysteriously in the dark.
All issues of this series have now been published:
Bat - Tiger - Crocodile - Kingfisher - Wolf - Parrot - Shark - Owl - Frog - Turtle - Otter - Crayfish
