This type was struck 1959-2001 and has little collector value except for some of the early proofs. Austria began minting euros in 2002, rendering this coin obsolete. The obverse features the edelweiss, the flower made famous by The Sound of Music.

Recorded mintage: 54,577,000 plus 78,000 proofs.

Specifications: 4.2 g, aluminum bronze, 22.5 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 2886.
