Comment
The figure on the reverse was inspired by a work from Austrian painter Albin Egger-Lienz, titled "Sämann und Teufel" (The Sower and the Devil).Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling 1946-1957 coin from Austria made of Aluminium-magnesium is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic recovery and growth in Austria after World War II. The coin was introduced in 1946 as part of a new currency system aimed at stabilizing the Austrian economy and rebuilding the country's infrastructure. The use of aluminum-magnesium, a lightweight and durable material, was chosen to reduce the cost of production and make the coin more affordable for the average citizen. Despite its humble composition, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a symbol of Austria's post-war recovery.
