Ten Schilling 1964, Coin from Austria (demonetised 1975)

Coin	Ten Schilling 1964

The Ten Schilling coin was the largest denomination of the Austrian Schilling which circulated as a regular coin; it was introduced in 1957 to replace an earlier banknote.

This first type was in silver (64% silver, 36% copper), which changed to nickel in 1974.

Both the reverse and the obverse are designed by Ferdinand Welz.

The 10 Schilling coins made from silver were demonetised on 31 March 1975.

Obverse

Within a plain border, the obverse of the coin features a shield divided horizontally into three parts, representing the flag of Austria. The upper and the lower thirds have a background of thin vertical lines, while the centre is plain; this is "heraldic hatching" indicating colour - the vertical lines are for red, and no lines are for white. Thus, it displays the colours of the flag of Austria - red-white-red.

Around the rim, starting at the bottom, the inscription · REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH (Republic of Austria).

Obverse Inscription	· REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH

Reverse

Within a plain border, the reverse design shows the portrait of a woman, facing left. She wears a traditional headdress from the region of Wachau in Lower Austria.

Below right, a large numeral 10 for the value. Around left, the denomination SCHILLING. The date of issue, 1964, is around right.

Below the value near the rim, in small letters the surname of the designer: WELZ (for Ferdinand Welz).
