1960 Austria 1 Schilling Aluminum Bronze Coin
1960 Austria 1 Schilling Aluminum Bronze Coin
This 1960 Austria 1 Schilling coin is a classic example of European post-war currency, minted in a durable aluminum-bronze alloy that contains copper. The obverse features the bold numeral 1 flanked by the inscription REPUBLIK OSTERREICH and the date 1960. The reverse depicts three edelweiss flowers, a symbolic mountain bloom of the Alps, surrounded by the denomination EIN SCHILLING. This uncirculated or lightly circulated specimen displays the distinct yellowish-gold hue characteristic of its copper-based composition. As a piece of Austrian history prior to the adoption of the Euro, this coin is a staple for collectors of world currency and European numismatics. The item is protected in a cardboard 2x2 flip for preservation.
