Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1958 Austrian 25 Schilling (Auer von Welsbach) coin is that it features a unique design that was created by the artist and inventor, Carl Auer von Welsbach. The coin's design depicts a portrait of Auer von Welsbach on one side and a representation of his most famous invention, the "Auer-Welsbach gas mantle," on the other. The Auer-Welsbach gas mantle was a device that was used to produce a bright, smokeless flame for gas lighting, and it was a significant improvement over the traditional gas lighting technology of the time. The coin's design serves as a tribute to Auer von Welsbach's contributions to science and technology.
