One Schilling 1992, Coin from Austria - detailed information

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 Ferdinand Welz, and the obverse by Edwin Grienauer.

Austrian 1 Schilling coins issued in 1992 circulated for ten years until the denomination was demonetised, together with all the other Schilling coinage, in 2002 when the country changed to the Euro currency.
