Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1932 Austrian 2 Schillings coin commemorating Joseph Haydn is that it was designed by the Austrian artist and sculptor, Anton Hanak.

The coin's design features a portrait of Joseph Haydn on the obverse side and a depiction of the Esterhazy Palace, where Haydn worked as a composer, on the reverse side. The coin was minted to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Haydn's death and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
