Austrian euro gold coins of 50 and 100 euros are issued annually.
With their mintings, the commemorative coins pick up on historical moments in Austria's history. The collector coins are limited in number to 50,000 or 30,000 pieces (usually from 2012).
With the introduction of the euro more than a decade ago, many new coins have been created through special mintings and collector coins. On November 20, 1998, Austria's very first euro coin was minted. The special feature of this coin is that the denomination is found on both the common and the national side. In addition, all coins minted between 1998 and 2002 are marked with the year 2002.
The "Art Treasures of Austria" series, which had already begun in 2000 with the 1000 shilling coin "Heidentor" and then in 2001 with the 1000 shilling coin "Buchmalerei", was completed with the first two 100 euro gold coins "Bildhauerei" and "Malerei". Finally, with the series "The Viennese Art Nouveau", the first complete 100 euro coin series in gold followed in 2004-2007. Finally, with the 100 euro coin "The Crown of the Holy Roman Empire", the first coin of the series "The Crowns of the Habsburgs" appeared in 2008, followed by four more mintages. Finally, since 2013, the six-part series "On the Trail of Our Wildlife" has been dedicated to the domestic wealth of species of wild animals and their habitats. Published so far: Red deer, wild boar, capercaillie, fox.
The 50 euro gold coins of the Austrian Mint also continued in 2002 (Orders and the World) and 2003 (Charity) the series "2000 Years of Christianity", which had already appeared with a face value of 500 shillings. Finally, in 2004-2006, the gold coins with a face value of 50 euros paid tribute to "Great Composers", thus creating a numismatic monument to Hadyn, Beethoven and Mozart. The Austrian Mint dedicated the next four issues of the 50 euro coin to Austria's great physicians: van Swieten, Semmelweis, Billroth and von Pirquet, before celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Johaneum in Graz with a gold coin with a face value of 50 euros in 2011. From 2012 to 2016, the focus was placed on Gustav Klimt's oeuvre in the "Klimt and his Women" series, each of whose issues features a famous portrait of a woman by Klimt. All five coins in the series together make up the name K-L-I-M-T. With the 50 euro gold coin "Sigmund Freud" began now 2017 of the series "Viennese schools of psychotherapy".
Gold, like other precious metals, has stood for secure value retention for centuries. Especially in times when other financial investments do not inspire confidence, this stability of value is highly appreciated. Besides gold and silver bars, gold coins are among the most popular forms of investment. Through year mintings with a limited number of pieces, coins made of gold can gain additional value.
