Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Schilling (Silver) coin from Austria, minted between 1960 and 1968, is that it was the last silver coin to be issued for circulation in Austria. It was made of an alloy consisting of 64% silver and 36% copper, and it weighed 5.2 grams. This coin was a significant change from the previous 5 Schilling coin, which was made of pure silver, and it was introduced as a cost-saving measure. Despite being made of a lower value metal, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation until it was eventually phased out in favor of more modern coinage.
