One Schilling (Aluminium Bronze), Coin Type from Austria (issued 1959 - 2001)
Coin TypeOne Schilling (Aluminium Bronze)

The One Schilling coin (abbreviated as 1S or S 1) 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 it was changed to this second type of 1 Schilling in aluminium bronze in 1959.

Apart from the change in composition, the new type also had a new design; the reverse was designed by Edwin Grienauer and the obverse by Ferdinand Welz,.

The denomination was issued in circulation quantities until 1998, and for collectors' sets until 2001. Together with all the other Schilling coinage, it was demonetised after 28 February 2002 when the country changed to the Euro currency.
