Austria Coins – Republic (from 1918) – Part 2
The coins of the Republic of Austria in the second half of the 20th century reflect the country’s economic stabilisation and modernisation after World War II. The schilling became firmly established as Austria’s national currency, with issues in aluminium, aluminium‑bronze and silver featuring historical figures, cultural themes and national symbols. This period is marked by improved minting techniques, the adoption of new metal alloys and the production of high‑quality commemorative coins. These issues represent the maturity of Austria’s monetary system prior to the transition to the euro and form an essential component of modern Central European numismatics.
