Five Euro Cents 2006, Coin from Austria - detailed information
| ||||||
The Five Euro Cents coin (€0.05) has a value of one twentieth of a Euro and is composed of copper-plated steel. It is the third-lowest-value coin in the Eurozone. Like all other common circulation coins (from 1 cent to €2), the denomination is issued by the separate countries in the Eurozone and is legal tender in all of them, irrespective of which country has issued it. The coins have a common reverse (designed by Luc Luycx in 1999), and each country has its own national obverse; the Austrian obverse was designed by Josef Kaiser, and features an Alpine primrose flower as a symbol of Austria's part in developing EU environmental policy. The denomination was introduced in 2002, when Austria retired the Austrian Schilling currency and introduced the Euro. The five-cent coin was not redesigned in 2007 as was the case with the higher-value coins. Austrian Five Euro Cent coins issued in 2006 have now been in circulation for 18 years. | ||||||
