In 2004, Austria honored the great composer "Joseph Haydn" with a 50 euro commemorative coin in precious gold (986/1000), which was minted in the highest quality "proof" (PP). The commemorative coin honors the main representative of Viennese Classicism in an impressive way.
Franz Joseph Haydn was born in Rohrau in Lower Austria in 1732. From 1766, Haydn was the first Kapellmeister of the Esterházy family, one of the most influential families in the Holy Roman Empire at the time. After the death of Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, Joseph Haydn, as he called himself colloquially, was dismissed and thus involuntarily became an independent musician. From then on, he taught Ludwig van Beethoven, who was 21 years old at the time. His song "Gott, erhalte den Kaiser!", composed for Emperor Franz II in 1797, now serves as Germany's national anthem with new lyrics. Joseph Haydn died in Vienna on May 31, 1809. He was buried in the Hundsturm Cemetery, today's Haydnpark in Vienna.
