A classic gold Schilling coin
The schilling became the official currency in Austria in 1924 and remained so until it was replaced by the euro in 2002. Even today, many citizens like to think back to the Schilling and have the opportunity to bring back the traditional currency as a gold coin of the 1st and 2nd Republic.
As a commemorative coin worth 500 or 1000 schillings, the former Austrian currency becomes a special collector's coin that is also a safe investment.
Austria has a long tradition of minting coins, and not just since the production of the euro gold coins as vintage coins. Ducats, florins and crowns were already being produced in imperial times. The Austrian schilling in gold is just as rich in tradition. In the First Republic, schilling coins with a face value of 25 and 100 schillings were minted.
The first schilling coin of the Second Republic was the 1000 Babenberg schilling. Unfortunately, only a few of these coins have real collector's value. The few that do exist must be in a very high state of preservation.
