Interesting fact
The 500 Schilling coin from Austria, also known as the First Thaler Coin Struck, has a unique feature - it has a square shape instead of the usual round shape of coins. This was done to commemorate the 450th anniversary of the first thaler coin, which was issued in 1566 and also had a square shape. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Austria and the inscription "1. Thaler 1986" on one side, and the image of a crowned eagle on the other. This coin is made of silver (.925) and copper (.075) and weighs 24 grams. It was minted in 1986 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item.
