Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1934 Austrian 2 Schillings coin commemorating the death of Engelbert Dollfuss is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Austria. Dollfuss, who was the Chancellor of Austria, was assassinated in 1934 by Nazi agents, and the coin was issued as a tribute to his memory. The coin's design features a portrait of Dollfuss on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other, and it was minted in silver, which was a unusual choice for a circulating coin at the time. Despite its historical significance, the coin is not particularly rare or valuable, and it can be found in many coin collections and online marketplaces.
