Two Schilling 1947, Coin from Austria - detailed information
| ||||||
The Two Schilling was a circulating denomination of the Austrian Schilling currency, 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 2 Schilling coins were struck in aluminium ( 98.5% aluminium, 1.5% magnesium). Both sides were designed by Michael Powolny. The denomination was short lived; there were only three issues between 1946 and 1952, after which time it was discontinued; the coins were demonetised on 29 June 1957. | ||||||
