History Of The Austrian Mint

The Austrian Mint, or "Münze Österreich" in German, is one of the oldest mints in Europe and has a rich history of over 800 years.
The mint was first established in Vienna in 1194 by Duke Leopold V of Austria, who the Holy Roman Emperor granted the right to mint coins. The mint began producing coins for the Austrian-Hungarian Empire in the 16th century and has grown coins for Austria and other countries ever since.

Over the centuries, the Austrian Mint has produced some of the world's most beautiful and valuable coins, including the Maria Theresa thaler, which was used as a trade coin throughout the Middle East and parts of Africa for over 200 years.

Today, the Austrian Mint is a modern facility that produces various coins and medals, including the famous Austrian Gold Philharmonic and Silver Philharmonic bullion coins. In addition to its coin production, the mint creates commemorative coins and medals, including special editions for essential anniversaries and events.

The Austrian National Bank owns the Austrian Mint and is responsible for producing all of the country's circulation coins and coins for other countries around the world. The mint's reputation for high-quality craftsmanship and stunning design has made it a favorite among collectors and investors.
