The Five Schilling coin was a 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 5 Schilling coins was in aluminium, but after only two issues it was upgraded to silver (64% silver, 36% copper) - later debased again to CuproNickel (copper-nickel). With the change of composition came also a change of the design. The new reverse was designed by Josef Köblinger, and the obverse by Hans Köttenstorfer. The 5 Schilling coins made from silver were demonetised on 30 September 1969. | ||||||
