One Schilling, Coin Type from Austria

One Schilling, Coin Type from Austria (issued 1946 - 2001)

Coin Type	One Schilling

The One Schilling coin was the main circulating denomination of the Austrian Schilling, which was restored as the currency of the Republic of Austria when the republic itself was restored after World War II in 1945. Between 1947 and 1952, coins in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 groschen; and 1, 2, and 5 schilling were introduced. The first type of 1 Schilling was struck in aluminium, but this was changed to a second type of 1 Schilling in aluminium bronze in 1959. The latter was issued in circulation quantities until 1997, and for collectors' sets until 2001.

Together with all the other Schilling coinage, the One Schilling denomination was demonetised after 28 February 2002 when the country changed to the Euro currency.

Obverse

The design of the denomination changed when the initial aluminium coins were replaced by a new aluminium bronze type.

The first obverse (1946 - 1957) features at centre the Coat of Arms of Austria (a crowned eagle with outstretched wings), and no inscription apart from the date, which is below, divided by the tail of the eagle.

The second obverse (1959 - 2001) features an edelweiss flower, and the inscription - EIN SCHILLING (one schilling) around the rim.

Obverse Inscription	- EIN SCHILLING

Reverse

The design of the denomination changed when the initial aluminium coins were replaced by a new aluminium bronze type.

The first reverse (1946 - 1957) shows at centre a naked man sowing seeds in a field. Around above, the inscription · REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH · (Republic of Austria). The denomination is abbreviated as 1 S, divided by the figure of the man.

The second reverse (1959 - 2001) has a large numeral 1 for the value at centre, below which the denomination SCHILLING and the date [year]. Around above, the inscription REPUBLIK · ÖSTERREICH

Reverse Inscription	1 SCHILLING [year] REPUBLIK · ÖSTERREICH
