Predecessor monetary history
Prior to the adoption of the euro, Austria's official currency was the Austrian schilling, introduced in 1925 and used until 2002. The shilling replaced the Austro-Hungarian krone following the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I. The Austrian schilling was introduced in 1925 and used until 2002. During its circulation, the shilling underwent several reforms and redesigns, reflecting the political and economic changes in the country.
Milestones in Austrian numismatics
Austria is famous for its "Vienna Philharmonic" bullion coin, minted in gold since 1989 and in silver since 2008. This coin is recognized worldwide for its purity and elegant design. Another important milestone is the series of 25-shilling silver commemorative coins, issued between 1955 and 1973, celebrating significant historical and cultural events. In the euro era, Austria continues its numismatic tradition with the issuance of 2 euro commemorative coins and other collectibles.
