The official Austrian Euro coin set 2019 is a collector's set of eight coins in denominations from 1 cent to 2 euros, in BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) condition. These coins have been carefully hand-struck, have never been used in circulation and are excellent examples for collectors.
The set includes coins of all denominations from 1 cent to 2 euros, each of which is dedicated to important historical and cultural events that took place in Austria at different times.
The 2019 coin set, dedicated to the 825th anniversary of the Vienna Mint, represents a significant event in the history of Austrian numismatics.
The history of the Vienna Mint dates back to 1194, when Duke Leopold V received the ransom for the English king Richard the Lionheart and used these funds to establish a mint. The first documented mention of the "Vienna Pfennig" dates back to 1203.
To celebrate the 825th anniversary of the Vienna Mint, a silver investment coin "Wiener Neustadt" with a face value of 1.5 euros was issued. This coin contains 31.1 g of pure silver of 999 fineness.
The Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich AG) is a subsidiary of the Oesterreich National Bank and continues the tradition that began centuries ago. Today, it is known worldwide for its high-quality processing of precious metals and coin production.
This anniversary issue not only recalls the historical significance of the Vienna Mint, but also demonstrates the continuity of tradition combined with modern minting technology. The 2019 coin set is both a historical monument and a modern work of coin art, highlighting the importance of the Austrian coinage tradition.
