Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1964 Austrian Winter Olympics 50 Schilling coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the country's hosting of the Games. The coin's obverse side depicts a stylized image of a skier in mid-motion, set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains. This design was created by the Austrian artist and designer, Professor Josef Humplik, who was known for his work in the field of numismatics. The coin's reverse side features the coat of arms of Austria, surrounded by the inscription "Winterspielen 1964" (Winter Games 1964) and the denomination "50 Schilling". This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, not only because of its unique design but also because of its limited mintage of only 50,000 pieces.
