'''Euro gold and silver commemorative coins''' are special [[euro coins]] [[Mint (coin)|minted]] and issued by member states of the [[Eurozone]]. They are minted mainly in gold and silver, although other [[precious metal]]s are also used on rare occasions. Austria was one of the first twelve countries in the Eurozone to introduce the [[Euro|euro (€)]], on 1 January 2002. Since then, the [[Austrian Mint]] has been minting both normal issues of [[Austrian euro coins]] (which are intended for circulation) and commemorative euro coins in gold and silver.

These commemorative coins are [[legal tender]] only in Austria, unlike the normal issues of the Austrian euro coins, which are legal tender in every country of the Eurozone. This means that the commemorative coins made of gold and silver cannot be used as money in other countries. Furthermore, as their [[Precious metal#Bullion|bullion value]] generally exceeds their face value,<ref>Precious metals in bulk form are known as ''bullion'', and are traded on [[commodity market]]s. Bullion metals may be cast into [[ingot]]s, or minted into [[coin]]s. The defining attribute of bullion is that it is valued by its mass and purity rather than by its [[face value]] as money.</ref> these coins are not intended to be used as means of payment at all—although this remains possible where they are also legal tender. For this reason, they are usually named '''Collectors' coins'''.

Such coins usually [[Commemorative coin|commemorate]] the anniversaries of historical events. They can also draw attention to current events of special importance. Austria mints more than ten of these coins on average per year, in gold, silver and [[niobium]], with face values ranging from €1.50 to €100 (though, as an exceptional case, 15 coins with face value €100,000 were minted in 2004).

== Summary ==

As of 3 July 2008, eighty variations of Austrian commemorative coins have been minted: eleven in 2002, twelve in 2003, fourteen in 2004, thirteen in 2005, thirteen in 2006, nine in 2007 and eleven to date in 2008. These special high-value commemorative coins are not to be confused with [[€2 commemorative coins]], which are coins designated for circulation and have legal-tender status in all countries of the Eurozone.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[European Commission]] |url=http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/the_euro/notes_coins8787_en.htm |title=Different types of euro coins |access-date=2008-06-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080216191618/http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/the_euro/notes_coins8787_en.htm |archive-date=16 February 2008 }}</ref>

It is issued every year, in four different face values, sizes and weights. It is used as an investment product (bullion coin), although it inevitably ends up in private collections. According to the [[World Gold Council]], it was the best-selling gold coin worldwide in 1992, 1995 and 1996.<ref name=VP_COIN/>

A design of musical instruments representing the [[Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra]], as well as the text ''Wiener Philharmoniker'' ("Vienna Philharmonic"), can be seen on the reverse of the coin.

The subject of the [[Obverse and reverse|obverse]] is the great organ in the Golden Hall in Vienna's ''[[Musikverein]]'', the concert hall of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The face value in euros, the weight, alloy purity and year of issue are also inscribed on this side of the coin.

Since 1 February 2008, the coin has also been minted in silver. The design of the [[Austrian Silver Vienna Philharmonic|silver coin]] is identical to that of the gold coin, except for its face value of 1.50 euros.

The obverse of the coin shows a frontal view of the castle. Built by [[Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg]], the castle demonstrates several astronomical themes: four gigantic towers represent the four elements, 365 windows represent the days of the year, and 24 reception rooms represent the hours of a day. The construction was begun in 1625 and completed in 1642 (after Hans Ulrich's death).

The reverse of the coin has a portrait of the scholar and astronomer [[Johannes Kepler]], a contemporary personally acquainted with von Eggenberg and most probably an influence on the design of the castle. In the foreground is Kepler's masterpiece, the model ''[[Mysterium Cosmographicum]]''.

| colspan="5" align=left |With this coin, the [[Austrian Federal Government]] decided to commemorate the city charter granted to the town of Hall in Tyrol 700 years ago. The city of Hall housed an important mint until 1809, when it was closed. It was at Hall in 1486 that the first large silver coin was struck, the "[[Guldengroschen|Guldiner]]".

The [[Obverse and reverse|obverse]] of the coin shows a satellite mapping the town of Hall.

The [[Obverse and reverse|reverse]] shows the Guldiner silver coin. However, the design is negative, representing a [[coin die]], as a reference to Hall's history as a significant centre for minting coins. This is the first time a coin die has been reproduced on an Austrian coin,<ref name=HT_COIN/> giving a distinctive character to this extraordinary issue. In the silver ring is also written ''700 Jahre Stadt Hall in Tirol'', meaning "700 Years of City of Hall in Tyrol".

| colspan="5" align=left | Towards the end of the 19th century, the Austrian half of the dual monarchy began to move towards [[constitutionalism]]. A constitutional system with a parliament, the [[Reichsrat (Austria)|Reichsrat]] was created, and a bill of rights was enacted also in 1867. [[Suffrage]] to the Reichstag's lower house was gradually expanded until 1907, when equal suffrage for all male citizens was introduced.

This coin design is based on a historic photo of the opening session of Parliament in 1907, after the elections.

The two oval portraits in the foreground are of the [[Franz Joseph I of Austria|Emperor Franz Joseph]] and [[Baron Max Wladimir von Beck|Max Wladimir von Beck]], who were responsible for putting the reform through.

|-
| colspan="5" align=left |The largest silver medal-coin in the world was launched in [[Hall in Tirol]]. It was displayed to the public on the occasion of the [[UEFA Euro 2008|2008 European Championship of Football]] in Austria and Switzerland.

The design on the obverse of the medal is five centuries old. Five hundred years ago in [[Trento|Trient]], [[Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor|Kaiser Maximilian I]] crowned himself Emperor and a commemorative coin was issued by the Mint in Hall. An inscription in this side read: ''MAXIMILIANVS DEI GRA[tia] ROM[anorum] IMP[erator] SEMP[er] AVG[vstvs] ARCHIDVX AVSTRIE'' ("Maximilian, by the grace of God, Emperor of the Romans, Forever Augustus, Archduke of Austria"). This is the oldest known use of the word ''Europe'' on a coin. The image on the obverse corresponds to the time of Maximilian's coronation in 1508. It shows the emperor mounted in armour on a horse; in his hand he holds a banner with the imperial symbol, the double eagle.<ref name=ET_HTC/>

The reverse shows important people in the history of Europe. One can easily make out the features of: [[Martin Luther]], symbolising the transition from the Middle Ages to the modern period, his reformation affecting the religious and spiritual landscape of Europe; [[Antonio Vivaldi]], exemplifying the importance of European cultural life; [[James Watt]], 18th-century inventor of the first [[steam engine]], representing the industrialization of Europe and the age of technical innovation and [[Bertha von Suttner]], the Nobel Peace Prize winner.

In between the scenes depicting the work of these notable Europeans is a tower, the symbol of the Hall Mint. Stars, a symbol of [[European Union|European unity]], surround the tower and symbolize the transition to the European Union of the 21st century.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://europataler.at/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5&Itemid=10&lang=en | title=The Europe Taler Coin. | publisher=The Europe Taler Web Site | access-date=2008-07-07 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110531205618/http://europataler.at/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5&Itemid=10&lang=en | archive-date=31 May 2011 | url-status=dead}}</ref> The Latin text ''PLVRIVMQ(ve) EUROPE PROVINCIAR[um] REX ET PRINCEPS POTENTISIM[us]'' ("Of many European countries, King and most powerful prince") is also depicted in this side of the medal.

| colspan="5" align=left |This coin will be part of the series "Celebrated Physicians of Austria"

Born on the island of [[Rügen]], Germany, in 1829, [[Theodor Billroth]] studied medicine in [[Göttingen]], Berlin, and [[Vienna]]. While pioneering various operation techniques in [[abdominal surgery]], he recognised the role of bacteria as a cause of post-operative traumatic fever. By introducing [[antiseptic]]s, Billroth enhanced the future safety of all operating theatres. In 1879 he founded the Rudolfiner House in Vienna to train not only doctors and surgeons, but also female nurses. He died in 1894 at the age of 64.

In the obverse of the coin, a portrait of Billroth is depicted, together with the [[rod of Asclepius]] and the years of his birth and death. On the reverse is a representation of him practicing surgery. On the left bottom portion of the coin, the Rudolfiner hospital can be seen.
