The Austrian Schilling was the official currency of the Republic of Austria and first instituted in the aftermath of World War I and the breakup of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Among the first schillings introduced into circulation was the 100 Schilling denomination. The 100 Schilling Austrian Gold Coin is currently available to you for online purchase from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Austrian schillings were introduced as the official currency of the new nation with the passage of the Schilling Act of December 1924. The coinage replaced the former Austro-Hungarian Kronen of the empire era at a rate of exchange of 1 Schillings to 10,000 Austro-Hungarian Kronen. The currency was offered in various denominations with most coins struck in bronze, cupro-nickel, and silver.
Beginning in 1926 though, the Austrian Mint began to issue 100 Schilling Austrian Gold Coins. The coins would be struck for a little over a decade by the mint with a reported total of fewer than 390,000 coins in all during those 12 years. The coins in this denomination were rarely used in circulation, with many holding onto the coins for their higher gold content by weight.
On the obverse of the 100 Schilling Austrian Gold Coin is the face value of the coin written out with numbers in between a pair of edelweiss sprays. The year of issue was featured below and was flanked by six-pointed stars on either side.
The reverse of the 100 Schilling Austrian Gold Coins includes the official coat of arms for the Republic of Austria. Most of these coins feature the coat of arms from the First Republic (1919-1934). This includes a single-headed eagle with a crown that bears the national shield on its chest and holds a sickle in one talon and hammer in the other. The Federal State coat of arms (1934-1938) was used in the years prior to Nazi occupation during World War II and included a two-headed eagle similar to the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
All 100 Schilling Austrian Gold Coins were issued by the Austrian Mint. The official sovereign mint of the nation, the mint was founded in 1194 by Duke Leopold V.
