The specimen shown is an example of a type struck in Austria, 1968-2002. It replaced a similar coin (KM 2889) struck in billon 1960-68. This date is common. Austria began minting euros in 2002, rendering this coin obsolete. The obverse features a Lippizaner stallion, whose prancing tricks still enthrall tourists in Vienna. In 1982, US$1 = 16.7 schilling.
Recorded mintage: 15,770,700 plus 92,300 proofs.
Specification: 4.8 g, copper-nickel, 23.5 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 2889a.
